Re: Black screen after XP Logo

ok since we do not have any recovery partition or a recovery CD or an XP install CD, try a Linux Live CD (Knoppix or PCLinuxOS).

this would NOT fix any Windows problems but it will tell us if the symptom is caused by hardware or your Windows install. if the results point to a corrupt Windows, then you need to reinstall or do a repair. you will definitely need an XP install CD here.

visit your laptop manufacturer website to order a copy of recovery CD. HP/Compaq recovery CD costs something around $20 the last time i checked.
