won't boot or format

[Steve]

Help, I ran into a hardware conflict(I think),uninstalled
the new hardware and then my comp locked up at the login
screen. Reset and now system won't boot as the boot record
is gone. I gave up and tried to boot off the XP disc and
just format and start over. Thats also a dead end as I
get: 39261 mb disc 0 at ID 0 on bus 0 on atapi. (setup
cannot access this disc)
Thanks for any info,
Steve
