Can't boot in Win XP
First item, working with a hand-made PC but running under Win XP, SP 2.
Was able to boot up yesterday but think I shut down PC incorrectly. Now PC goes thru preliminary processing, I press F1 to continue setup, PC gots to Windows XP, tells me it is starting, but then monitor goes blank and no further action, no chance to do anything again. keyboard is a non-factor at this point. Mouse also. Can only reset and PC goes through same process again. Obviously have no backup discs, so what are my options? Anxiously awaiting response. Don |

Can't boot in Win XP
Why do you need to press F1 to continue, what is the error message that
prompts pressing F1.? Neil "don" wrote in message ... First item, working with a hand-made PC but running under Win XP, SP 2. Was able to boot up yesterday but think I shut down PC incorrectly.
