My computer used to have windows xp home adition on it but then i for matted
i an installed the profetional adition. It was working fine for about 5
months. then all the suden one day it starts up goes to the thing where it
checks to see if there is a boot cd the it restars and ceaps on doing this in
a cicle untill i turn it off what do i do.
 
sounds awfully like your HDD has gone blippo, its looking for the boot CD
because it cant find the boot sector on the hard drive

another option is harware (primary IDE failure) BIOS fault.

check your bios to see if your drive is still listed in there, if it is put
the winxp cd in the drive and see if you can either rebuild or reinstall

failing that, try a dos boot disk from winxp and see if the drive is visible
 
it can find the card rive and it does not say that it cannot find startup
disk it just restarts
