Hi to everyone

I know the orginal posts on this thread are from last year but i'm just seeing if anyone out there might of come up with any answers.

I'm getting the exact same thing on my Advent 7115 after I tried to downgrade to XP, I formatted the main partition, but left the recovery partition intact, after I left it for a while I came back to check it out and it was stuck on the intel logo.

After checking through Google for hours I found this thread, now I figured out that the laptop isn't POSTing, when i restart the laptop and hit Del to get into the BIOS the intel logo disappears and the laptop starts to go through the POST but stops after:

PRI Master: FUJITSU (HARD DRIVE DEATAILS)
Ultra DMA Mode-5, S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status OK

then it goes no further so I can't get into the BIOS and trying to get into the hard drive Recovery (F8 or any other F key) doesn't work or using a DVD recovery since it can't get past POST.

Plz help.
