STARTUP--->LOCKUP

[Raymond]

After down loading the necessary patches, I rebooted the
system and the XP Bootup or splash screen is displayed
before the "Welcome" is all that comes up now after a cold
start or restart. The same thing occurs when trying to
boot in safe mode or any other mode in the list of
options. I cannot use the recovery console because I can't
even get to it. Are there other alternatives than the
clean and reload?
Using a Seagate 40gig, connected to an Intel D865GBF and a
2.0gig Intel cpu.

May be you can read this on a friends PC. Try to

booting on your WinXP reinstallation disk. It is a
bootable disk. Or, copy and paste below URL to your
browser, go to it and scroll down to: "How to Repair
Boot Sector":

You can run the recovery console from the Windows XP CD.
