Won't boot up
I've an HP Omnibook 4150. I've set it up dual boot W2K and XP. This worked fine until I took it through airline security. Now it often won't boot properly. Or if it does boot fully it freezes after a few minutes. The amount of time before it freezes seems to depend on how recently it was last booted. Sometimes it won't even get to the F2 or F10 choices screen, it just keeps trying the DVD drive. It even freezes when going to Safe mode.
Any ideas? Is this a hardware issue, a BIOS or an OS issue? Is it time to get a new laptop? (I'd give this one away to someone more skilled at resurrecting it, but how'd I erase the hard drive first?) Dazzer |
