HX1 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Maybe you should try to upgrade to SP3?..and get some updates..I would start there from your BIOS and forward.. may work out some kinks all over.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3v Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 ok sp3 is installed and you're right it has not effected the laptops speed like it did in my previous XP install.anyway it didn't help the situation. This is quite serious as it means I cannot boot to DOS/safe mode or reformat !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3v Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 ok i just solved this.i hooked my laptop up to my TFT monitor, rebooted and there was the POST options so I immediately entered BIOS and found what I had studpidly done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
