my pc will only read a disc in the cd rom when first switched on after that it says disc not formatted or corrupt. Floppy drive keeps asking if i want to format disc and then says disc cannot be formatted and i have just bought a flash memory stick and my pc will only recognise that when first swithed on. after that it says disc in drive "E" not formatted.
ps. operating system is windows xp pro could it be something in the bios?

You could try to perform a repair using the XP CD: Boot from the XP CD and the first prompt says install, or repair with the recovery console, go to the install, you are then asked "do
you want to repair?". Confirm that you do.
If that doesn't work, contact Microsoft Technical support:
