Windows XP - Not Booting to Login Screen
My parents rang me up saying that their Windows XP PC wouldn't boot. So I droped over to have a look, but I can't resolve the problem.
When windows boots, it fails to get to the login screen. It sits on the loading screen. I can however, boot into safe mode.
I thought the OS was currupt so decided to re-install. Unfortunately, when I tried this, I received an error stating that the OS couldn't find the hard drive. I tried installing the HD drivers at the same time as the OS installation, but this didn't resolve the issue.
I then decided to swap out the hard disk. Again, I am getting the same issue of not being able to find the HD.
At this point I'm stumped and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
chuck.
