717265 2008-11-04 08:01:00 Hi there!

Just this evening after a crash my copy of XP has decided its giving up the ghost!
For some reason best known only to itself it now only reaches as far as "Verifying DMI Pool data" apon starting up (or attempting to) and then brings up " . . . Boot failure . . . "!

Any suggestions would be great!!

Thanks in advance :)

717266 2008-11-04 08:05:00 Is there more than 1 hdd in the case??

If there is, is it set to boot from the right hdd, in the BIOS?

Thats got something on it?

I would also check and see if the BIOS is detecting the hdd/s in the case.
