I used a one of the wipe programs on the boot cd to wipe a hd. Can someone tell me the process on how to get new boot sectors so I can reinstall xp on this hd. The hd is a toshiba laptop hard drive in a dell laptop.
Thanks

Yes I have two xp cd's. I have that came with my dell with sp2, and xp pro that I bought for my pc.
If I put in the xp pro from my desktop it starts the install process and then says:
File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.
The error code is 7
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.
If I try the dell xp cd it says:
No boot sector on hard disk -
No bootable devices--strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility.
