Hello. I posted this problem couple of weeks ago. I rebooted my win XP and
got stuck at the win XP logo without going anywhere. I tried F8 and can't go
to safe mode either. I bios I indicated to start with CD and restarted with
the XP CD and no run. Started with floppy and no run. Diagnosis showed Error
code 0F00:136 C when the cd was in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with
the cd, it is fresh out of the envelope. The exact message says: IDE device
failed. Blank media or no media is present in optical drive. Test requires
media with digital data (resource cd, installation cd).
The system has a DVD drive also and I have tried that for rebooting and
nothing. What seems to be the problem here? I appreciate any help to resolve
this issue. The system as is pretty much useless without booting. many thanks
in advance!
