Hi there everyone hope someone can help me with this cos ive made a big booboo!!!

Right to start with i went to install a fresh copy of windows xp pro and deleted all partitions, the install went ok but now on boot up i get one or two errors one of which is " no save to disk file found" and something about "phdisc" now the computer runs really slow and it wont download things, keeps coming up with errors.

Any ideas would be greatfull

Hmm... Something might have gone wrong with the install. First, try start, run, chkdsk, restart. If that doesn't work, try re-installing it again, if that doesn't work, it is probably something to do with the hardware, most likely hard disc.

Since it's a fresh install, I'd suggest you zero the hard drive with the hard drive manufacturer's utility and re-install- sounds like remnants of the old install have lead to corruption of the new install. zeroing the drive will leave you with a "fresh" disk to work with
