Windows XP, and even Linux Installation CD.
Now, after I turned on my PC, it attempted to load Windows XP, but it
seemed hang there. When I attempted to boot from Windows XP CD or Linux
Installation CD, it hanged there too. Any ideas what I should do now?
Please advice. thanks...
Sounds like either GRUB or a hardware problem.
Recommend you check your bios and change if necessary to boot from CD and or
floppy before booting from hard drive. If that is the case, then I would
suspect the cd reader and or the hard drive has gone bad.
Mark:
In my BIOS setting, I have changed the boot sequence to boot the CD ROM
first, and hard disk the last. I think the linux installation has
corrupted, once I am able to delete linux, problem can be solved. But
the problem is it is strange that I cannot boot from CD, and my PC
doesn't have floopy disk, that's another problem. I am sure the CD ROM
works fine.
