Ok, so I took both our computers out to the garage for a air compresser cleaning. I did mine first (Sig), then I did my parents old HP Pavalion 520n w/ 512 Ram, Stock everything basicly. There computer is from 2001 (just guessing), it has XP Home, one of the first with XP. There computer has NEVER in the 5 years we had it been blew out with air, so the dust I blew out was A LOT, I was surprised the PSU or CPU didn't overheat or shutdown. The fins on the heatsink were filled with dust, I couldn't even see past the fan. After I blew the psu, ram, heatsink, and everything, I SEEN SILVER AGIAN!

Anyways, I go to hook up my parents computer for them, and it starts fine, says HP invent, then it goes to black screen, then says "Error reading drive, please insert boot disk and hit enter." Since it's a HP all I have is the one the computer came with so I insert it, hit enter, then it just says the same thing...

Any help? It ran before I did this...and my computer works.


Thanks,



Mike.
