Nope dont recall seeing that error.
I'm back in business now.
Seems the nudge of the SATA cable has fixed things so far, however its strange it booted fine, and happened about an hour into working.
The blue screen was a full screen thing with white text explaining that windows was being automatically shut down and at the bottom it said it was stack dumping hard drive or something like that.
And from that point onwards it died.
Luckily I got into the Bios even after it telling me there was no bios installed
and then went undergorund and turned off and opened up the machine.
Lets hope it works for good now.
I've been using Win98 for years so am lost when it comes to XP Pro.
I havent got round to making backups and stuff as yet so if anyoe can point me in the right direction for emergency disks, files I should copy, and any other stuff that needs doing to XP on a regular basis, I'd appreciate it.
At the moment I just do the normal defragging and scan disking.
Thanks to you all for the help.
