never trust an IT guy: part II
It seems that I finally know what is wrong with my pc now. The amount of money which I spent is not worth it at all because the problem is not with the power supply or the hardisk.
I came across a website which provide me with the solution.
pci.sys and ntfs.sys error messages when booting
"Recently I ran into an issue with a WinXP box booting up. I kept getting "pci.sys" errors…and if, after cold booting a few times, I was lucky enough to get past that error, I would get the "ntfs.sys" error. Turns out I had a bad memory card. Dropping in a new card resolved ALL issues."
So I'm going to get a new memory card and see if it works. Now, how much is the memory card...
Lesson learnt: In some cases, it is better to learn to solve the problem yourself rather than depending on people who make you pay extra for nothing.

Well,as a general guide la u could try the following as the first step if you haven't already..
-swapping RAM positions.
Pulling out and reslotting any cards that has attached memoryu(audio,graphics,instrument recorders)
-System Restore CD(comes standard with all brand machines)
or you could boot up to BIOS, and try too see if your system can detect your hard disk.As long as your IDE 1 is detectable, you should have no issue.If you forgot your BIOS password, or don't know what it is(assuming there is one), press down your power button a few seconds with the power Off.Then plug out and plug in again the password jumper( a small device with a cover kinda like a small pen) usually under your HDD IDE cable(where the cable touches keyboard)Reset your password and boot your OS CD.Select "Repair installation"
OR
If you CAN start windows, just insert your OS CD(2k or XP) , when it opens the autorun menu, hit "Exit" and goto Start>Run and type this command into the prompt: C:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
Install the console and let the program do the rest.Good luck!
