My system hangs after the splash on a nice black screen. I’ve tried the ‘in-place upgrade’/system repair, as suggested , choosing the first option for XP Pro setup and not the “recovery console.” After I press F8, the following options appear:

The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select an item in the list.

• To set up Windows XP on the selected item, press ENTER.
• To create a partition in the unpartitioned space, press C.
• To delete the selected partition, press D>

76431 MB Disk 0 at Id0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]
C: partition1 (Kahiau) [NTFS} 76332 MB (36761 MB free)
Unpartitioned space 8MB

5860 MB Disk on disk [MBR]
Unpartitioned space 39MB
D: partition1 (KAHIAU’S IP) [FAT32] 5820MB (1996 MB free)

What should I do next? I’m afraid to set up XP again or delete a partition and risk losing my data on the drive. LKGC hangs at same spot. Safe mode hangs at mup.sys.

Thanks in advance for your help!
