Hi,
System originally had Windows 98 SE, ran well for a couple years, in the last year it would hang on startup 5/6 times; I formatted and installed Windows XP Pro thinking there must be some corrupt system files; WinXP Pro worked perfectly for 3 days until I copied some large data files which 3/4 filled up the 20 GB harddrive, now the same symptom of needing 5-10 restarts to succesfully load windows is back.
What is the problem here?
(Faulty harddrive? Incorrect CMOS settings? Bad BIOS battery?)
SPECS: Sager laptop, 700 MHz Pentium III, 128 MB ram, 20 GB harddrive, 3 1/2 years old
