Why don't you continue to UPDate THIS Thread -
rather than start another new thread discussing the same problem?

Folks can follow along better if the Whole Story is in ONE thread.

I did a full format and reinstalled XP.
It is thinking about working now. I can get into Windows but get error messages left and right. I'm working on downloaing the many windows updates that it thinks I need but it is slow going because the computer keeps randomly restarting itself. Some piece of my hardware is obviously corrupt so this is a temporary fix but I'm happy with it for now.

Hey does anyone have an extra hard disk because i started re-formatting and it got halfway done then the power blinked and my computer shut down. So i cant install windows and i cant boot.
