Hi,

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a laptop that is/was running XP. My problems started after the computer ran out of batteries when XP was updating.

Now, everytime I turn it in, I just get a black screen with this text at the top and a blinking underscore at the end:

MSI-1039-M56P ATOMBIOS 9.12.1.12_CL249402

Hitting buttons does absolutely nothing. Pressing delete when the computer first turns on also does nothing.

I inserted my original XP to see if I could boot from CD. And actually, the first time I did this it gave me the option to boot from the CD. I did, and it was working, but then it froze the first time when I tried to delete the main partition to just do a reinstall. Then, the second time I tried to just repair it, and that also froze. Now, I don't get the option to boot from the cd anymore, just the black screen with that line of text at the top.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
