-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Start up problem update

 I disconnected the hard drive that works to try to get the
other one up.   Again would only go as far as the welcome
screen. Tried to do a reformat or a repair, when I tried to
do a repair it would ask for the administrators password As
I am the admin, I put my password in but it would not accept
it.  
I tried to do a complete reformat, but it kept giving me
" I386 line 7 error. press any key to exit, set up can
not continue.
When I again tried to get the hard drive up here's the error
message I would get.
" Windows could not start because of computer disk
hardware problem
could not read from selected boot disk
check boot path and disk hardware

That's it for now
