so you see bios, then nothing if you don't hit a key?
tap f8 ONCE EVERY second when you see the bios hardware detection phase...hitting it too many times will lock up the machine.

yeah thanks, but im afraid that didnt work either... I've got a bad feeling about the hard drives- i suspect it could be virus related or something to do with bad clusters. either way i cant load the operating system. I have two very small hard drives- about 2gb each and i've tried swopping the jumper settings but no result.

much more likely a bad registry (corrupt)
No windows Xp disk?

no but im sure i can get hold of some somewhere... bad registry- what does that mean?
i have been advised to format the disks on someone elses computer and put the operating system on them again from scratch
