Black screen hangs after restart - WIndows XP professionnal SP2
HI,
I have a problem with my girlfriend's notebook. I cannot restart it. It does not start with safe mode. It shoes a black screen with some information about windows version written on the top (like in the normal safe mode) but then nothing. I can access the recovery mode using a CD but I don't know what to do. I would really like not to formate the hard-disk. Does someone has any suggestions ? or questions ? Phil |
