Hello: I am running WXP Pro SP2 on a Dell desktop. In the last 2 weeks have
experienced a couple of stability incidents that caused the machine to crash.
Rebooting, and choosing "Start from last good configuration" has solved the
problem. Last night the machine crashed again unattended. I have tried all
the Win restart options: Safe Mode(s), etc.: they hang during the loading of
drivers, etc. The "Last Good Config" gets to the black screen w/ Win Logo
and stops... Then re-booted w/ Win install CD and chose the Recovery option
(ie, the Console, not the ARS disk option). The recovery procedure does not
progress past the msg on the screen bottom: "Examining the 155XXX MB disk 0 @
Id 0 on bus 0 ..." Question: only option left is to re-install the OS or
assume disk failure? Any help much appreciated.
