trying to recover allocation unit
hey guys
I went to format my computer yesterday.I got up to about 5% and then it comes up "trying to recover allocation unit".Now i started formating just over 15 hours ago and it still seems to be making progress.
Any idea what this means and what i should do about it?

Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: No Bootable CDROM Found
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
now i know the cd is bootable because i used it to install it on this machine before

Update: I switched it back on and im having the same problem before i started formatting the drive,The Drive is not detected at the post screen.Does this mean i have to buy a new HDD?:sad2:
