Hi,
I have a friend’s CPQ Presario 1500 laptop running XP Home SP2 that will not boot to the OS, safemode or safemode with network but will boot to safemode with command prompt after a very long wait(ten minutes).
Last known good configuration doesn’t work either.
It will also not boot to the cdrom drive even after enabling the cmos to boot to the cdrom drive first.
It will boot to the floppy drive (yes, this machine is a couple of years old) however after creating the six disk boot set from MS and booting to it, “biosinfo.inf error code 1408” is displayed and there’s not much on the web about this.
I’m unable to run chkdsk/f or /r (volume in use) from the command prompt but chkdsk by itself shows drive errors.
Please help. I’m tired….
Thanks ahead of time for any help.
