Hi,
Appreciate if anyone can help me on this.
Problem is system (XP Pro with Service Pack 2 and all latest updates) now
hangs during the boot up at about 1/3 progress bar is showing (with the
Windows logo).
I can get into Safe Mode though.
When the problem started: Replaced a new mother board due the old one is
out. The new one is the same as the old one. After the board was replaced,
it was normal except onboard network card could not be identified.
And the BIOS was older than the one on the old board. I tried to update the
BIOS but the first time did not succeed, so I reboot the system and then
tried again. BIOS update was completed but now system would hang in the
middle of the boot when Windows logo is showing and the progress bar will go
for a while then stop.
So what kind of recovery option do I have? I have I386 filed in the C
drive, can I just use it to re-install it?
My last option is to format the drive and perform a clean installation.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
PS: No error message.
