I have a 1.2 gig CPU, 760 Mg ram, 160 HD & Win XP Pro.. (5 yrs old) A few days ago I started to receiveing "Delayed write errors." Then I received a boot error message that "operating system not found, insert system disk. This lead me to believe that I had a HD problem. I was able to get the system rebooted after a period of time waiting. Once I was able to get it running, I saved much of what I needed to keep and shut it down to replace the drive. I tried one more time to ststart the system, but it will now not boot past the video initialization. Thats it. I even tried with another HD that is a clone of the 160, but still no boot up past the video init. I will show the video intit and go to a white help screen and no further. I beleive this is a BIOS problem right now, but am stumped which way to go at this time and I'm not sure how to repair. The board is a Gigabyte GA-7ZM Socket A type
