The above is the message I currently have on my (other) machine, which is a
Compaq AP550, running two 866 P3s, 768 Mb ram, with 8.5 Gb spare on first
scsi hard drive.
Question, what is Windows XP pro doing? It has been like this for several
hours now.
History: All running fine then decided to change graphics card. Forgot to
unload old card drivers. Installed new card, screen froze. Attempted to
repair by using XP Pro cd and using second 'R'. Screen froze. Replaced new
card with original. Attempted to start up XP, got "Setup is being restarted
......". Used XP cd to boot, second 'R'. got "Setup is being restarted ....."
At boot there is a lot of hard drive chuntering. Then there is a dim blip,
about every second, on the hd light. That goes on and on. Is XP doing some
sort of deep hd chkdsk?.
Thanks for your help,
Bob
