I push the on button and everything, but then it just sits there, with the HP logo thing forever. It can't get past that. Somebody help me, please!

I'm posting this on my Mac. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So, when it's just sitting there, do the ctrl-alt-delete thing? I'll try that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT- No, it didn't do anything. It doesn't even get to the Windows XP loading screen, if that's what you need to get to. I only make it to the blue HP screen.

Hmmm... okay, one step at a time.

Do you get to the bios maintenance prompt? The "Press delete (or F1, or whatever) to maintain system settings? This is shortly after it goes through the memory test.

Assuming you get through there, does it get to the "XP Loading" display? It sounds like it doesn't, but let's confirm that.

Have you tried a boot disk, to see if you can boot from that?

Give some details about exactly what's showing (or not showing) and let's see what's up.

It gets to the HP screen and stops. Nothing shows up, and nothing happens. The computor doesn't even chunk away, hardly.

What do you mean by boot disk?

Ok the boot disk is one of the CDs that you get with your Comp
Also try to Unplug it. That may work. If not then rip your desk apart until you find the CD.
If you don't find the CD then you'll have to replace your hard drive.

It's a family forum version of a certain word.
