Re: Cannot fix Windows boot

The Windows XP Home boots for a while and just as it should be going to the
welcome or desktop it stops hard drive activity and the screen stays bland.

Dell Inspiron notebook, Will not load to recovery console. It gets to
the point that it asks which OS to you want. I type 1, enter. There is
hard drive activity and then it stops. Will not do an install new or
repair because it will not get to the second instal screen. It stops
when looking for installed windows. Will not boot in safe or normal
mode. Checked the hard drive in another computer. It is very readable.
Had some low risk adware but no viruses. Still won't boot or repair. I
am now running a defrag. What else can I do? Thank you.
