Had tons of crashes. Tried to use System Restore (Norton Ghost) but it was unable to recover the system. This left me no choice but to reformat the hard drive.
I have the reinstallation CD so I followed the steps on Dell's website. Unfortunately, even though I was able to change the boot sequence to read first, the XP goes nowhere! The drive seems to be reading it, but I get nothing but a black screen and NO apparent "life" in the hard drive.
HELP!!
