Compaq Presario c300 - S/No: CND6441F50 Prod/No: RT150EA #ABU - Windows XP Media Center When trying to restore a fresh copy of Window XP and having booted with a Windows Boot Disk, get as far as the point where you can select 'recovery or new install'. When I press F3 it gives a message that the hard disk is not installed and I should check power/connections etc. However, I can run XP from the hard disk. And I have checked through 'System' that the h/d driver is working okay?

The laptop is from 2006 and the disk does a lot of 'Thrashing' when even simple requests are made - hence the need for re-install Windows. (Have tried de-frag!). Can anyone suggest something apart from upgrade?
