I am using the Dell XP CD that came with the desktop. Dont have any other unfortunately. I ran Dell Diagnostics last night - all tests passed so no issue with the hardware. But the OS seems to have gone for a toss. Well, I aborted that process that I was alluding to a few times - not it doesn't go there. What is currently manifest is startup happening in an endless loop - no blue screen any more; it just isn't doing anything.

Any thots on trying a fixmbr, fixboot, copy ntldr & ntdetect, followed by a bootcfg / rebuild?
