Please Help My New non tested System which i bought is saying saying operating system not found and i have changed the hard disk and inserted the jumpers properly and the problem still persists. However, i tried reinstalling the OS in it which is Win XP professional and what it does is this, After running the Win Xp Setup, select the drive to install it in and then format, after format completes successfully, it starts coping files. After the files have been copied successfully aswell, the system then restarts to continue the rest of the installation process, it would still display OS not found. Guys please help me out cos this is driving me nuts.

check the hdd

How many Hard Drives do u have on the System?

You know what Trutalk,
If you have two Hard Drive, remove one and make sure that it is left with only the one you want to load windows xp on.

If you have only one Hard Drive on that system, the only source of your problem ( not to stress yourself too much) is your IDE CABLE and THAT YOUR HARD DRIVE.
Make sure that you don't waste your precious time checking any other unnecessary component.

Good luck.

You are really a Genius. one of the IDE Port was bad son i Now got an IDE cable that had two point and connected it to the CD ROM and the HDD Drive and it Went through.
