your HD seems to be dieing on you. go to your manufacturer's website and look for a diagnostic software.

what i cant even log in on my pc im using my MAc what cd do i use to wippe the hard drive and restore it

You would need to boot off your Winxp Cd and reformat to delete all the data off your harddrive.

But you should be able to download that diagnostic utitlity straight to Floppy disk and pop that in, turn on the machine and run the Diagnostic to find out if there is a problem.

you can use the PC you are posting from. just download the utility from your HD manufacturer's website and make a bootable floppy with it. that will allow you to check your HD for problems.

so i just d/l and put in to a regular floppy and how do i make i bootble how how

I often do things the hard way so this may not apply.
I would check my ide cable to see if it is secure and undamaged first. Have you done any work on your computer, like swap out hardware? Could you have inverted the ide cable? If you are shaking your head no after reading this then the first line of this message applies.

What he is telling you, is to open your case. take a look at your hard drive. Is it a Western Digital, Maxtor, IBm, or what. Go their web sit and download the utility. Sony did not make it, They probably didn't manufacter one piece of that computer. They had others make it Stamped their name on it. So find out what hard drive you have.

I understand that your on a diffrent comp right now. Just to clarify viaos website tells you that you need to Restore you computer with Their disk?

Can you look through you currently collection of stuff that came with your compter and see if there is a Restore disk...
