sounds a bit like my problem mate, i would say a dirty virus, have tried slaving my h/d to another pc, when i returned to the original pc, op system was missing, i'm now going through a serious file recovery system. hope you find help on here although i didn't! make sure you give as much detail as possible, it helps others diagnose. remember, it aint easy to help someone out over the internet especially when you got a serious problem which i suspect you do.mugosuds said:A few days ago, my PC would only load to a black screen with active cursor. I pulled the hard drive and moved critical data to another PC and tried to reload windows XP, but it stops and the Windows Setup page.
Any ideas what is wrong?
