Dell XPS 400 running Windows XP Home Edition. The computer was running great
until this afternoon. My wife left it on and my 2-year-old got to the
keyboard. When I found it, some of the icons were moved around but nothing
looked bad. I tried to shut it down normally and it locked up, hard. I
finally had to cut power and try to reboot. Thats when the problem began.
I'm running Windows Defender Beta, Symantec and PC Tools for malware. I tried
reinstalling Windows but the installer said that it couldn't detect a hard
drive. Pretty much stuck now.

What's the history on this? When did this message start? Did the system
ever run well? What is the malware status and how do you check it?
If the system is clean of malware have you tried a repair install?

Ok try a chkdsk from the recovery console. First off do you have a backup of the important data on the system? If not do that now. There are a couple of ways to do this. One is to install the drive in another XP or Windows 2000 computer as a slave drive and copy the important data. Another is to do a parallel install of XP to different partition on that drive, then backup the data. A third way is to use a Linux distro on a bootable CD and copy the data. Let us know if you need info on the third and hopefully Malke will see this and respond.
Once the data is backed up boot from the XP installation CD and enter the Recovery Console. Take the first "R" for repair. Type in the # for the windows installation, normally "1", and then enter the password for the built in Administrator account. Since it's XP Home the password might be unset so just hit enter or tab.
If that gets you in to the command prompt do chkdsk /p.
Then reboot and see if it runs.
