    Hallo ppl, im new here, and sorry for my english, i had very serious problem and need help.
    I use Acer Aspire 5020 WLCi, here my specification :

    -AMD Turion 64, ML-34
    -Phoenix Bios, V1.18
    -ATI Mobility Radeon x700 PCIe, 128 MB VRAM,
    -2048 installed RAM,
    -windows xp sp2 OS

    i bought for about 13-14 months ago (guarante expired), and it's ok, but 2 days ago, my notebook go to bsod suddenly, and i try out to restart, but it show out 'ntldr or something like boot file error', so, i try to repair by boot windows xp cd, but when on menu with choice to "repair" after choose this option it was go back to bsod.

    then i'm try out to did this :

    i remove my notebook harddisk, and i install my notebook hard disk to other computer then try to boot it, it's show same error, so again, i try to boot windows xp cd and choose repair, for this step, it's ok and done. then finally, i re-install my notebook hd to notebook. but the bsod keep show out and it's so fast ( i can't see bsod error code), then i try again remove my notebook harddisk, and assemble to other computer, then i choose to quick format then make fresh copy of windows xp sp2, after done, i disassemble the harddisk and re-assemble to my acer notebook, but now i can not boot anything (from cd-rom drive, USB, and HD) from my notebook. Also it's look the temperature increase quickly ( for about 4-5 minutes, my notebook automatically shut down because of temperature).

    i thought about hidden partition on acer notebook harddisk, is it cause of my problem (after i format the harddisk) ?
    please i really...really...need help for my problem, thanks before.
