error loading operating system

[alex tam]

um, i dont know if this is related to installing the sp2 but ever since i
have install sp2, this is the first time i got this message. i need help on
my computer. everytime i boot it up, i would get a message that says "Error
Booting Operating System". i have tried reinstalling windows xp and windows
server. i have took the battery out for the bios. when i tried installing
red hat linux 9 on it, it works. my hard drive is a 40 GB western digital.
please help me. thank you.

Try setting the bios for 40gb hard drive to auto detect and set the boot
order to 1-floppy, 2-hard drive 3-CD ROM. It should solve the problem. Make
sure there is no floppy or CD in the drives.
