I put in a boot disk in a drive boot off of it copy sys to c:. reboot and it goes ok. if i shut down to reboot it starts all over again. I have norton anti virus, i down loaded the lates signatures an ran a virus check, nothing found. I did a scan disk no problems.

One possibility is that your cmos battery is failing, and the computer is losing the settings for your hard drive when you shut down. Go into bios setup when the computer starts and see if the drive is detected. You might also try scandisk with the through option, and opening the case to check on all the hard drive cable connections
