One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or
to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive

extensions,IDE,SATA

secure connections and are not faulty even the electical extensions or just
replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue
its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error another possibility
Restart your computer with the XP Setup disk in the CDROM
drive.
If you are prompted to press a key to start the computer from
CDROM, do so quickly. Otherwise it may try to boot from the hard drive.
After a few minutes, you'll see a prompt to press the R key to start the
Recovery Console. When Recovery Console starts, it will prompt you to enter a
number corresponding to the Windows XP installation that you need to repair. In
most cases, you'll enter "1" (which will be the only choice). If you
press ENTER without typing a number, Recovery Console will quit and restart
your computer.
Enter your Administrator
password. If you don't enter the correct password, you cannot continue.
At the Recovery Console command prompt, type fixmbr and then
verify that you want to proceed. Your damaged MBR will be replaced with a shiny
new one, and you should then be able to boot your system normally. In some
cases, you may need to repair the boot sector in addition to the MBR. If your
system still doesn't boot properly, repeat the steps above, but issue the fixboot command
instead.
Hope this helps
