Why is my window not allowing me to format my HD?


I had Vista in my PC and was working really well it until I thought to give Vista RC1 a trial. My decision proved to be a fruitful one for me as after the trial I came to a conclusion that Vista runs much better on my PC. Now after the trial I wanted to get back to XP as my OS. Now the problem is whenever I try to restart the computer with my XP CD in it says no hard drive found. But when I do boot the system normally my computer still works. I don’t know what exactly is happening with my PC but it does have a problem with it. Is there any solution that you can help me with? I am desperately looking for a solution.

Some time this type of problem arises with the computer. There may be different reasons behind the problem. It may be happening due to some virus or it may be happening due to some of your OS files get corrupted or it may be happening due to the software that you have installed recently. So for the proper checking of the reason behind the not allowing of window to format hard disk. First of all check the status of your antivirus. If it is updated and working very well than try to remember the software that you have recently installed. After that uninstall that software and try to rerun that. If computer starts formatting the HD than its ok. If still not than it is happening due to your OS get corrupted, For that you have to reinstall that. check if its work now if yes than your problem have removed permanently.

It was really fun to help you on this.
