    Default any pc gurus?

    after using my new western digital hardrive for 2 weeks its now refusing to get past the xp loading screen, i get a quick flash of the bsod, and then it reboots.

    Ive tried to do a system repair via the windows xp disc, but theres no option for repair.

    can anybody help?

    Sounds like a goosed hard drive. Can you boot it into safe mode by tapping F8 as it starts to boot?

    try starting in safe mode. and see if you can fix problem while in that mode.

    p.s it will only run in 16 bit or 32 bit color

    4.


    As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
    On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears.

    5.


    Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
