randomuser88 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 can you boot it up like are you able to turn on you computer and the welcome screen appears Quote
KenB Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 i have tried to formate How did you do this? From the installation CD ? How far did you get? Any Error messages ? If you have XP you can try a Repair Install - this will keep the data on the drive .......assuming that XP is still on the drive.

PseFrank Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Please try and answer Kens questions and post your answers. In addition to that, does your computer make a beep noise when you first power up...and if it does, is it a single beep or two or three beeps in succession? Can you boot into Safe mode (Tap F8 on boot) Quote I thought I knew today...I'll try again tomorrow. :) Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

wardyboyo Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Depending on the beep and the BIOS, the beep could tell you the problem, do you know what BIOS you have? Quote

KenB Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Hi, Sorry - I missed your reply it was in the middle of 3. Don't worry about the BIOS - you are getting one beep - which is normal. Repair Install.... As long as you got nowhere with the formatting it is worth a try. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm Scroll down to "Repair Install" Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
