My computer is staying on the loading part where it says Windows XP and stays there forever... I have loaded it for about an hour and a half and still nothing. I noticed after awhile my keyboard lights blink and the PC freezes for about a second but that's it. No respond. My computer is a Compaq Presario. Oh, and I tryed doing what you guys told me to do last time but all it did was mess my computer uo more. I used to be able to go on Safe Mode with Networking but now when i load it it stops at multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys

Last time you guys told me to go to Run then type in chk/dsk or something like that. I cant remember fully sorry but that didnt make it any better. It just made Safe Mode get damaged also.

I am currently using my downstairs computer to figure this out so help!

Hello,
Do you have an XP disc? If so,
Run checkdisk from recovery console (Windows xp). (Courtesy dsenette)

• Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.
  Note:Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
• When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  Note:If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
• When you are prompted to do so, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
• At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following then press Enter:
  

  chkdsk /r

• Allow this to run UNDISTURBED until completed (45 min or so)
• Report any errors

Do you have the technical ability to remove the hard drive from the effected machine, and put it in the good computer?

[Skomro]

No Im not good with computers.

You will be.

One rule, always have the computer unplugged when working inside of it.
