After a year of dedicated use after a computer mishap described in this thread:
The Computer is Broken. Seems to be Circling the Drain in a Loop. TECH PING LIST SUPERSTARS03.02.08 chickensoup

Having a similar problem but the boot on the XP Pro disk doesnt seem to help. got to the blue screen once and hit the 'R" key and it loaded but just sat there and hummed. so i started to type in chkdsk/r but it would only let me type in "c"....
It is now back to circling the drain to the white on black screen that tells me to start in safe mode.
When you go in, there is a huge pile of old stuff, like a mountain most days, just laying there. On many occasions I have reached down and grabbed complete systems, and monitors. The guys there know me and they also know that I will be back with the non-usable junk when I am done.
I envy you. I’m amazed. I could fix that stuff up to into numerous 1-1.5ghz machines running XP. That’s what gets tossed where I live but you have one stop shopping!
Did you get this all resolved?
It is at my local computer man’s shop right now. I need to get this computer to work another three years.
Thank you for your help.
