When I turn on my system it asks if i wan't to start in safe mode, regular
etc. I can't make it start in safe mode regular or restore to a prior
configuration. It brings up the windows splash and then stops right there. If
I leave the machine on long enough it eventually tries to re start itself and
then it hangs up again. It will not start off of the win 2k disk either. Any
help or suggestions would be great. -- Jeff
