Hi Kilster

 

When booting the best settings are for first boot option is;

 

1: Hard disk drive, ie, C:

 

2: CDROM, (this could be any drive letter)

 

3: Floppy Disk or LAN.

 

Change the boot order to this and get back to us if you still encounter problems.

Hi Kilster.

 

Try this:

 

Keep tapping F8 as soon as you turn on your computer to get to to a boot menu. From that menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration and tap enter. If that doesn't work, try Safe Mode from that boot menu.

Thanks for the update Kilster.

 

The problem may have been errors on the hard drive. It's probably a good idea to run hard drive error checking:

 

Start>Run>type in chkdsk /r and press ok.
