ooooh some one please help me!

I have just installed every thing to my pc together.
I might have dont something wrong with the vista cd.

At first it loaded perfectly with my xp i installed. Then i decided to see if the "gateway operating system disc" would work. Well it got into the boot menu and it started to load. But of course it failed...

so now i turned it off. Turned on and BLANKKKKKKK x{

all i see is the gateway mobo. then i see the "one" dash. blink. then it turns black.
The tower is still on. i see every on. but its blank. Then i tried to boot from my xp disk. and Black again.

i could get into the bios boot menu. but after the booting. it just turns blank...
could it be the HD ? the cd drive ?

please some one help me x[
and let me know if this is the wrong place to post. thank youu

Well this will tell you if its the HDD or not. Just disconnect the HDD from the Mobo and boot the PC. If you get the same symptoms the looks else where. But if you get a main HDD could not be found error then you will know that its the HDD...

Do you have another HDD to test out your system with??? Also could you also list your system specs??? That might help out too.
