that is pointing to a bad device or device driver. So what I would do is take the computer down to a basic set up (ie cpu, one stick of ram {if you have more than one}, video card, one harddrive, one cd-rom, and one floppy. ONLY) Then try to do a full format and install. This should get you on track, if not get back to us and we can help more from there.

Might help....

Could also be hardware related...ie.
BIOS corruption=clear CMOS

Corrupt MBR=delete all partitions on harddrive, then unpower, then start XP boot again and let it create new partions and format.

Also, could be a piece of hardware that isn't PnP, forcing an IRQ or other resource.

there should be a model number on the front of the board or you can Download CPU-Z and this will tell you about the model number and revision.

How about a bootable memtest86? That would be a start.

What kind of atapi or serial ata controller does this have? Doesn't require some strange driver does it?

Great great people arround here. I am very thankfull to all of you.

Now i will like to make a back up cd some how .Is there any easy way to do that ?

I have tried few time before but never suceeded.

How can i make my systen to boot from xp or linux ,which ever i like ?

Because i have both xp and linux installed on separate hard drives, and windows does not detect linux and vice versa.

Again i am very very thankfull. great..

back up cd? uhm .. try acronis true image 8.0.. i have used it .. very good program.. makes bootable recovery discs and can create an image of ur hard drive and burn to dvd.. or put on a storage drive.. u can even create clones of ur hd from one drive to another... and u can boot offa both...

and as for the boot.. there isnt really a way, that i can think of, except going into bios and selecting that drive as your boot drive
