Running WinXP with all the updates.
While on line the machine made a static noise through
the speakers and the screen went dark. I rebooted and got a message
that I had "disk failure" and for me to let windows scan
the disk. It returned an O. K. Rebooted agian
this time it started to windows but when it got to the
log-in screen it went dark and rebooted itself then
went to a DOS (?) screen asking how it should
boot. ( Safe, to Dos prompt, etc) I have chosen all of the options
individually to no avail.
In Start normally or last best start it appears to start normaly proceeding
to the log-in screen then it flashes a "blue" screen which I cannot read
and reboots.
In command prompt choice it lists a number of files on the screen,stops then
reboots.
Ran a Western Digital program that shows disk O.K. (000)
Ran Windows "repair" (chkdsk /r ans/p) from original XP disk don't really
know what it was telling me but DIDN'T say my disk was bad if that's what
it's supposed to report.
Any ideas?
Thanks
