OK Jason,
Try a new boot disk, you can get a nice fresh image from [url]www.bootdisk.com/[url] of any OS you like.
Also can you tell us a bit more about the pc e.g. cpu, mother board, memory type/size etc

RE: Problem installing Windows
Hi Jason,
It sound like a BIOS problem. When you boot up their should be a screen that list how much memnory the system has and what Hard drives are connected along with and CD Drives. Dose the PC see anything?
If not, then you will have to check that the BIOS is set up correctly. Useually you can get into the BIOS settings by hitting the Delete key during the boot-up sequence. You can then check the system has the correct settings for Hard Drive and Floppy drive.
Also the problem couls be to do with the extra memory added, try removing it and see what happens.
If you not sure what to look for then go look at this site http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/BuyerBeware.htm which has a lot of info about everything PC, very usefull for beginers and "experts" alike.
