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.

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.
