Hello-

Out of the blue my copy of windows xp pro will no longer boot. At the xp loading screen where there's the bar along the bottom that scrolls as the OS loads, it freezes (the bar simply stops moving) and it doesnt do anything from there. I cant start safe mode and the reinstall CD doesnt seem to load.

Is there anything i can possibly do? What could be the issue?

Thanks!

Fact that it is written by "NastyMarine" does not help either.

maybe the reinstall CD won't load because you didn't set the BIOS to boot from disk as the first priority

Go into BIOS and make sure Harddrive setting is set to Compatible or IDE. NOT SATA or AHCI.

I have a computer issue too, but it's kind of weird.

Basically as soon as I put my computer into sleep mode, it unsleeps. If I put down the cover, it unsleeps as well, even if it was put into sleep mode before I put down the cover. It's really annoying :/

Anyone know what's up? It's a Thinkpad T61.

You don´t have to go to OS to set the boot drive to CD. Just spam F8 when you startup your comp.

It depends what type of computer it is. It can be one of the following

DEL, ESC, F2, F8, F10, or F12.

I had this same problem last week. When I turn on the computer, it goes to the windows XP screen where its all blue but instead of loading and going to the desktop it just froze. So I had to reformat my computer. Didn't even get to backup my files and I couldn't get into safemode either.

I cant spam F8 or F12. It just brings up the screen that freezes. It doesnt display the prompt for the options at startup. What can I do? New harddrive?
