Re: still can't boot computer. Weird error messages.

I think that means that the hard drive cannot be found to boot from. Are you
sure the hard drive is OK. It could be the drive is faulty. You need to
download a boot disk like knoppix, you download the image and burn it to a
CD. Then boot from that, from there you can see if you can browse the hard
drive. If no then the drive is faulty and need to be replaced.

Boot from CD:
