Hello group. Plz help.
Problem: Windows XP stops just after POST, no first XP logo, keyboard locked
(numlock/capslock test)
Done so far (in that order):
1. chkdsk /r from CD
2. repair (2nd 'R') from CD -> after 1st reboot setup stops like in 'Problem'
3. repair - 2nd and 3rd attempt (with info: Setup has already attempted to
upgrade the following Windowsi nstallation) -> same - after 1st reboot setup
doesn't move to GUI
4. moved HDD to another computer - done points 1-3 again
5. on another system (HDD as secondary disk) run full windows scandisk
6. replaced registry files (sam, security...) - "Problem" persist
7. done HDD clone - done steps 1 and 2 on mirror copy of disk - no go
I guess its a kind of drivers problem that are loaded at the start of
booting windows
But how to debug which one, and how to disable/reapir that boogie?
System has tons of programs/settings and fresh install is rather not an
option.
