I tried the 'use last good configuration' and it does the same thing, freezes on the windows xp screen. Safe mode gives me the 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partitiion(2)\windows\system32\drivers\ errors. I downloaded a bootdisk but can't figure out how to burn image to disk (I have a new Vista Premium computer and still figuring things out). I have 2 baclup dvd's that I created when I first bought the computer, I tried putting one in and starting the computer but it won't work either.
