Do you have any important data? It sounds like a Virus might have messed the system up to the point where it does a BSOD. From here, it sounds like you would be best off copying data to another computer and doing a fresh reinstall of XP. Do you have the recovery disks that came with the laptop?

Put the XP disk in your computer. Reboot it and it should boot off the XP disk and you should see a Windows setup CD. It might say press any key to boot from CD, if it does hit enter to boot from it.

If you get that far, post back.

When you reinstall you have options. You can just restore any corrupted system files on the system that way. Another option is to format, which will erase all the data, and install with a clean start. On a system with a virus I recommend a full format.

matthew dale · 08-25-2007, 10:22 AM

so, i put in the xp disc,(the one that came with the comp.) when it was doing the format thing ,it got all the way done,to 100%, then message came up that sytem could not be formatted...... is the hard drive possibly bad? it said maybe the disc is no good, but the disc appears to be in good shape,ive always kept it in a holder,. any suggestions?

Take a look at this page. It will help to determine if your hard disk is in danger of failing and if it needs replacement.
