I think it said NSTDS or something like that is missing...the computer was custom built for me...of course, can't find the guy who built it...lol. I'm trying to avoid buying another hard drive...i'd rather use one that I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure your secondary hard drive is set to primary boot sequence. Fist kill the drive then partition and format it to your satisfaction. Then use the windows xp disk to install XP and go through the set-up.
