Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Dell N250 (support expired)
laptop; it will not boot past the "windows is starting
up" screen. I'm using XP home with all the latest
service packs. I ran a complete system diag's and
everything passed. The HD led just blinks. very
consistently, about every second, forever.

Any suggestions?

TYIA, Marty

Dell PC's cone with a re-installation CD. You might
consider running a repair of the OS is you have one large
system partition. If you have a small system partition
and utilize a larger data partition you might try
formatting the system partition and re-installing the OS.
