Computer Problem
 

My brother seemed to install service pack 2 on the computer upstairs.

Now everytime the computer loads up it goes past the windows home screen and then stays on a black screen. It won't let me go into Safe Mode and when i try to boot it by using the last good time it worked it stops off the dick check and stays on that blue screen.

Anybody know what to do?

format c

and re-install windows...

Besides formatting is their any other way. We don't have Windows to install anymore.

dont use a pirated vesion of windows.

can you somehow system restore?... or make any changes in bios?...

That's why I didnt install SP2, I've heard only bad things about it

i had no problems with it... untill my HD crashed and now has to be replaced... but i don't think the two are related...

only option is to format c

i duno if u can do this, but try unplugging the c drive into ur other comp and set it to slave and drag all the contents off it that u want to save and then format, that's if its possible

We used an original copy, just it wasn't ours.

can you explain the second part?

when your system boots up, you can press DEL (delete) to enter set-up, see if anything in those options can help you or give more info...

alright i haven't done that

likely there won't be much in there to help, but at least you'll be able to see if the HD is configured, and check temperature etc...

A week after installing SP2 on my 120GB hard-drive, it went corrupt.

A couple days after installing SP2 on my 160GB hard-drive, it went corrupt.

SP2 is nothing but a problem to me. oOo:
