My hard drive wont start up, But my fans and everything else will.
Last response: in Systems
Hello, When I turn my computer on it won`t go past the windows XP screen. It just keep`s restarting.
It hasn`t worked since like February, The last time it worked I Was playing maplestory and it froze so I restared my computer manually.
When I power my computer on it goes through the normal start up(But my hard drive doesn`t sound like it`s spinning). So I let it go and it take`s me to the start windows in... window and no matter what option I choose It just goes to the loading for Windows XP screen, You know, the screen with the scrolling bar thingy, and it stays there for maybe a second. Then it restarts automatically and keep`s repeating that.

If you have your key code (cant even remember if you need the key code) you can use any windows disk that has the same service pack as is installed on your computer.Well my friend said he had an un-used keycode so he must have the disks. If I were to get the disks from him. Would they work? And I believe I have SP2 on my comp. But I`m not sure.
You will have to have the same service pack or newer on the disk to be able to repair so here is a guide http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slip...

Would I be able to just completely re-install Windows XP? Or do I have to do what you first stated? (Sorry for sounding noobish, Don`t understand alot about OS`s/this kinda stuff.
