From: Fluke on 23 Mar 2010 11:26 I have a Virgin Freedom netbook. It's been working fine but today Windows Mail kept crashing when I opened it so I restarted the system. When it was booting up, it went past the loading bar to the black screen with mouse pointer, and did nothing else. I restarted in Safe mode and it did the same thing. So I restarted in normal mode again and it's now got to the Windows is Starting Up screen and is just sat there. Can anyone help?

Hi, Press F8 before windows starts and try "last known good configuration". Neil

Hi, Failing a reinstall do you have a windows disk to boot from so you can access the repair console. If not you can go to http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig and download the xp_rec_con.iso this would allow you to go to the repair console and then you can try chkdsk. You will need to burn the iso image to a CD and boot from it as you would the windows CD.
