I am writing in regards to this thread that is archived that I had posted earlier.

I finally got the company to send the original OS disk that came with the computer, and I tried to do a "repair install" on the hard drive. The problem i am facing now is, that the OS CD will not recognize my SATA hard drive. I tried to go into the BIOS to see if there was a way that I could change the SATA to an IDE setting, but there was not. I also do not have a floppy drive, so i cant use a third party, and i don't think USB floppy drives work. So my question is.. is there any way i can repair the windows files? I will even reinstall windows all together if i have to.. I just want to get the computer to install windows at this point. Thanks for any help
I cannot post a new HJ log because of course, i cannot boot to windows.
