Re: hang on the boot up grogress bar



Ok, wouldn't work.

Can I use Repair installation and can repair installation has to use CD? I
do have files in C but have to get back to home to get the CD.

So the question is, can I use I386 folder to do the repair installation and
would repair installation solves the problem?

Many thanks.
