I have the exam same problem and i tried chkdsk /r, it strted scanning then something interesting happened, it came up to 74% and then went back down to 50%, then went back up again to 74% than back to 50% and so on. So i just restarted it and the same problem continues.
k2wl - did u fix it?
any ideas?
thank you
Few questions before I ramble about my theory:
1) did you install/update any software/driver before this happened?
2) when freezes, do you see any sign of hdd light flashing?
3) how do you restart? (unplugging or press and holding power button for 3-5 seconds)
I guess the best way to fix Windows faulty boot is to insert your Windows XP start up disc. After the utility loads up (the famous blue screen) select the option to repair. Go to the command line and type chkdsk /f or you may let Windows fix the problem automatically--this option is before you get to the command line. If chkdsk /f does not help, try chkdsk /r
Usually when Windows XP cannot load, inserting the start up utility and letting it to fix Windows files only it will leave all other data intact.
