i have an advent 7086 running on xp, it will not boot up, it has a cursor on the screen waiting for prompt,
the bios can be acessed

with the back up cd in the drive it says it cannot be read
with an origional windows xp disc it gets to format the disc then it says the hd is corrupt then asks to esc.

i tried a different hd (which is no longer advailable to me) and the results were the same

i am tech inept so all help is apreciated, thanks in advance
