Power off
Desktop:...Open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at both ends.
Laptop/Portables:... simply remove and reinsert the hard drive.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and download their hard drive diagnostics.
Do you have a hard drive overlay such as Max Blast?
Windows XP sometimes has issues with overlay software.
You may need to perform a Clean Installation without their overlay software which is not needed anyway.

I am running XP Home Ed. Everything I have tried today ends at the Blue Stop
Error Screen. Tried booting in safe mode, blue screen. Tried booting from
XP op sys install CD, blue screen. Tried booting to F8, told me me CD ROM
device not installed (I have two in the cabinet) and keyboard error. Only
other note is that the hard drive light on the front of the cabinet is on
constantly through all of this.
And suggestions for starting troubleshooting? Work fine last night and this
morning. This afternoon is a unmoutable boot volume.
