O.P. error 115
i am using a 80 GB Seagate serial ATA hard disk, and it was running fine till a few hours earlier, after i installed a fresh copy of windows xp on it two days back. but all of a sudden, it restarted and now, i am getting a "error 115" before boot, and i am redirected to BIOS setup. i get the error even when i set the primary boot device as the cd rom. please help me with this. do you think reinsalling windows will help?
please help me out.

RE: error 115
do you have a pata hard disk handy?
if you do, do you  use imaging software such as ghost of powerquest?

yes he might still have the sata disk plugged in should try unplugging it.
and my 2nd question was the ghost software if some1 he knew was running the same or similar configeration (same unless u don't mind tweaking boot.ini) make an image of that disk restore it on to the new hard drive..

Hmmm i think he means that he gets the error when Windows XP is booting, so if he puts the Windows CD in it wont load XP it will just load the setup, so it would work. I think :S
...there used to be a signature here :)

no actually, i get this error, and it directs me to the BIOS setup. from there, if i select "discard changes and exit", it boots the cd. if i select "save and exit", then it restarts the computer and i end up again at error 115. so thats how i will reinstall windows. should i do that?

if you get the error before it tries to boot I seriously doubt reïnstalling windows will work... sounds to me that if it's your harddisk it crashes on the mem test...
