i installed linux on my laptop, then proceeded to install xp on a separate partion,

linux was running fine, then the xp installed was running smooth. then it went to restart and now my computer fires up and displays a grey screen??, it doesnt even show the option to go into bios.

iv tried taking the HDD drive, still the same, iv tried starting it with the linux/xp disc in, it starts spinning and the hdd light flashes like its loading files..then stops and nothing. some one please try and help as i now have an unusable laptop! :(

Install XP first, then install Linux. What distro are using? Sounds like your boot loader is the problem at this point.



i installed linux first -pinguy, then xp. I think it will be the boot loader.

And no, wont boot from disk,

when you power on as laptop for example a Dell, it will normally come on with a screen saying dell, intell etc. press f2 to enter set up.

Nothing comes up at all, it goes straight a grey ish screen, WHICH is the colour of the pinguy screen when its loading the OS,

Theres nothing I can do as I cant get into the bios. Help is greatly appreciated!
