Re: Cant restart in Safe Mode

Hi,

This generally has to do with the master boot record. Try checking your
bios boot settings, set to CD rom and then enter the recovery console and
run: fixboot and/or fixmbr. Believe it or not as of late the last three
systems brought in here with these exact systems, removing the jumper from
the hard drive booted everything right up as normal. Go figure! :o)

Good luck and please keep us posted.
