I am using a Dell Precision M50 laptop with Win2k Pro, sp4
on it. I was using defrag, when the system shut off. Now
I can't get back in. I have tried booting to safe-mode,
Last Known Good, Directory Services mode, etc, etc. and
they all hang up. It gets past the Dell screen, and the
screen that allows you to hit f8 for startup options, but
hangs on the Win 2k startup screen. The status bar gets
filled, and the scroll bar keeps scrolling, but it never
gets past that. I tried booting of the Win2k cd, and
tried to repair, but it hung up. I also tried a fresh
install, but that hung up.
I am out of ideas. Any information would be
helpful..Thanks.
