ok I am stuck. I baught a new hd. tried to install
windows and the hard drive will not boot the computer. I
tried doing the trick with using the old hd then using
the recovery console to fix the boot sector. No good. I
have tried everything I could find and or think of to
resolve this issue but am pulling my hair out.

System
AMD Duron 1gig
256 mb ram
52 x cdrom
52/24/52x cdrw
64 mg agp 4x video card
 
My best guess is that the HD needs a little shim driver to work with
your mainboard. It's more a mobo-HD issue than a bootsector/OS issue.
That's what happened to me. Should be on the driver provided with the
new HD.

HTH!
