Orpheus Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 My brother has a laptop, which for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get it to boot. It has Windows XP installed, and after starting to boot(and getting past the screen with the loading bar and XP logo), it will not boot into the OS, it simply asks for options of whether to boot into safe mode, or last good configuration, or a normal boot. All boot methods will go to the loading screen, then just quit, and jump back to the options given of safe mode, normal boot, etc. I think there might be a virus on it, but I can't get into the OS to check. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 We decided to format it, just lock the thread. It had a BSOD, and I didn't bother to grab the text or code, so meh.

sloter Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I am actually really happy with your decision. It could have been a simple fix but who knows and instead of messing around getting know where i assume it is now booting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
