Guess it would depend on why the error is there. The drive could have died...

three simple steps!!
1 check the bios to see if it lists all of the HDD's and CD drivers on the IDE menu for me once the cdrw drive was not listed and i had to install it manually 2 make sure all removable storage is unplugedd/removed 3 on the resture/install cd start up from CMD/recovery prompt Fdisk/mbr for xp home or fixboot -- fixmbr command xp pro if this fails use a live cd os and check the disk usage on the ntfs partition if empty, you will have to start over.
