I bought a new laptop recently. We have been really happy
with it and have not had any problems at all. However, yesterday I installed the Windows XP Service Pack 2 cd, as it's supposed to have better security, etc. Once the installation was finished, it said that it needed to re- start Windows. Unfortunately, there seems to now be a huge problem and Windows won't start! The start-up screen comes up and starts loading, but then the loading bar gets stuck and nothing more happens. If I switch the computer off and back on again, it says that Windows had a problem re-starting and it gives me different options to try again: * safe mode * start Windows using previous configuration settings that worked * start Windows normally. None of these work! When I tried it in safe mode, a whole list of MS DOS stuff comes up and it seems to get stuck on the line which reads: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows\system\32 \drivers\TDI.SYS What can I do to sort this out??? |

I have just had the same problem.
I got round it by loading PEBUILDER (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) This creates an image of your original XP disk and allows you to boot the machine. I then used the disk checking utility supplied with PEBuilder. It fixed a file called SIB?? (I did not catch all of the name). Once this was completed it took around an hour. I rebooted the machine and everything is great. Of course if you only have the one computer you will need to borrow a friend to download this file and create the XP image. Hope this helps. >-----Original Message----- >I bought a new laptop recently. We have been really happy >with it and have not had any problems at all.
