| 857671 | 2010-02-12 19:07:00 | Last weekend I reloaded WinXP Pro onto a friends PC - got everything set up & going well. I set up the PC back at her place and tested it - excellent. Now I don't know what's happened since then but now she's mentioned that it's taking 'forever' to boot up. I tried it yesterday & had to wait about 15mins for it to get past the initial screen where it has 'Press Del to enter Setup'. I haven't tried pressing Del & going into setup to check settings - I haven't had time yet. I want to have a look at it tomorrow. Any ideas? |
