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?

this is before windows even tries to load. Try pressing DEL

this used to happen when I had my ipod plugged in until they fixed it. Unplug all peripherals and remove any disks.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I believe you issue is that your windows can no longer can boot, requiring a format and a reinstall.


In your bios will be a option to boot from CD. Place your windows XP cd in the cd-rom. Before windows even attempts to load your computer will prompt you to hit a key to boot from CD-Rom. This will start the reinstall process that brings you to a blue and yellow screen. It's very basic looking.

On the bottom it says BIOS Revision: 1.1.0 on the loading screen. the bar freezes at like 1/4 of the way through. There aren't any prompts for Safe mode ETC. (F12. F8, F2). It also isn't booting from CD for some reason.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Is it a PC or laptop? if PC try opening the case and checking that the hardware is plugged. If you can open the BIOS maybe you can get a hint about whats wrong. Dont remember if the bios is f8/f10 or del at the beggining but it should open before win starts loading.
Help me! im still improving my English. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. M. G.
