Ow do.....I need help......please !!
A few weeks ago I thought I'd give the PC a good clear up.After putting the Windows XP Home sp1 recovery disc back in everything was fine for a few days until I turned it on and no icons or taskbar appeared on the desktop.I could'nt shut it down so after 20 mins of waiting for them to appear I flicked the off switch at the back.This happened another three times so I put the recovery disc back in.
All went well until the part where it says "installation will be complete in X minutes" with the green progress bar underneath.The bar froze at 32 mins and after waiting for an hour I had to flick the off switch again.I've put the disc back in twice since but all it does is start installation where it left off and then freeze at 32 mins again.
Due to the fact that the PC is in limbo at the moment the only technical info I can give is that it's a 80GB Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600 with an AMD Athlon xp 1700 and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
Has anyone any idea what could be wrong ?
Due to me being thick I hav'nt a clue !!
Many thanks in advance.
