I had previously formatted the file system to NTFS and installed XP Pro and have used it for a couple of years.
Now it won't boot. I tried the "repair" and the "recovery counsel" to no avail so I decided to formatt again and re-install the OS but now I get the message "28624MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi, Setup cannot access this disk"
I've also tried doing a fixmbr, chkdsk, etc. but I get the message that this is an invalid drive.
Also, I've tried using a Win98 boot disk but still won't read it.
Does this mean my HD is bad and need replaced?

Would appreciate any help,
