Thanks buds!! my problem is that when I put in the cd rom also, the computer restarts automatically after a few seconds into the repair mode.. It does not stay on for a sufficient enough of time for me to do anythin....

I'm thinkin it was because of Paragon Partition manager.. It wasn't randomly restarting when i upgraded to XP.. It was just a lil unstable..but now it won't let me do anythin..

Even booting from the install CD is not workin since it restarts anyways after a while...

+ rep added to both help posts..
