Blue Screen wrote:
I recently installed a PC game (Spore) on the comp and it made the comp run buggy immediately after it was installed, particularly keeping us from restarting the computer most of the time (the comp would either restart at splash screen or I would have to select "Load with last workable configurations")

Since then the comp crashed today and suddenly the comp just continuously restarted at the Windows splash screen and wouldn't give me the Load with Last... option. So I restarted trying to open with DOS mode to do a chkdsk (I think I clicked F7 or F8 I think at the load screen) and I think it asked me what my primary hard drive was. It game me an option of a named drive and "Other." I picked the named one.

Now my current problem: Upon turning the comp on, the comp only loads a blue screen and the mouse and that's it. I have found through trial and error that I can press F2 during the load screen to bring up BIOS and F11 to bring up this whole "what's in the A: drive" thing (I think it's called the "Setup" screen).

Any help would be appreciated, and I'll try to answer any questions or specifics if it helps. I have Windows XP, but I'm writing this on a friend's PC cuz mine won't do anything but show blue and the mouse. I feel like I have somehow made a secondary hard drive my primary or something, I dunno. Please help, I'm hopeless and afraid I'm just making things worst
