Hello, all,
A friend's computer was put in hibernation and upon restart, it goes through
its post and then, before the XP screen comes up, a DOS looking screen comes
up with messages:
The last attempt to restart the system from its previous location failed
Attempt to restart again?
Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu
(this selection is highlighted, but the keyboard and mouse are dead)
Continue to system restart
She is unable to select any of the above. The only thing she can do is
restart by pressing the reset button on the front panel, then it repeats the
same problem. She has XP Home SP1. I just cleaned this machine up for her
last weekend and she took it home and used it with nary a problem until
today. Does anyone know what might cause this behavior or what I might do
to fix it?
TIA,
Rip
