At power up get blue screen flashing s/t about "registry" then message
disappears. Mmeory count begins, then message saying maying installed s/t (I
haven't) so need to start in safe mode options or previously successful
config. Brief Windows screen appears then the whole cycle starts again
whatever option taken. No desktop screen, no dos screen. Problem 2, I'm no pc
whizz so don't speak compubabble - sorry :-))
 
Mark,
Thanks for the tip. Problem is I didn't get a CD with either the PC or
laptop I got from Medion computers. System restore is on a hard disk
partition that I didn't backup (duh)! I followed your links to your homepage
to article 304449. When I tried "system restore from hard disk, returned on
"hard drive", I got the same recycling. I note that Jen W. posted a similar
problem on 11/3/04. I'll follow some other links on your very helpful site
before trying again to get a reply from Medion.
Many thanks for your time & effort.

You are undoubtedly seeing some hardware problem. If it is possible to
unplug extra stuff, (especially USB items) to try the boot, it might get you
to the point where you could try the provided Recovery options available to
your system.
 
Hi earlybird,
nice try but no luck I'm afraid. Techie from Medion just told me few mins
ago to get an XP disk so he could walk me thru reinstall and data backup.
Have all my data backed up but there is another main user who is not sure.
Thanks.
