The Pc was set up for dual boot – both with xp pro 1 60gb Maxtor ide Hdd, and the other 80gb Maxtor Serial ATA , was working excellent. Son downloaded a music program I think it was win amp which affected the pc - now the pc wont boot with both drives connected. It boots and works fine with the IDE drive, but won’t boot at all on the SATA drive. at start up screen it gives me the options to boot it either- safe mode, safe mode with network support, safe mode with command prompt, boot form last known good working order. or boot normally. Whatever choice I make, when the pc tries to boot, there is a blue flash on the monitor, and the process starts all over again, it keep going round in cycles – can’t get to safe mode to delete offending software.
I decided to do a repair or re install, but the computer just freeze after xp examine the system and load drivers. It does not get to where I press the F8. when it freeze it says “Examining 78529 mb disk 0 at id 0 on bus 0 on viasraid.”
Is there a solution?
