hello, i went to turn my pc on today, and when it gets to the windows xp boot screen(the one with the green loading bar) it crashes and i see a blue screen with a bunch of number and stuff, but only for a split second. I'm not sure what is is, maybe the jumpers are in the wrong spot, and ideas?

"maybe the jumpers are in the wrong spot, and ideas" Why, did you change your settings? Have you tried tapping f8 and going in to safe maode to see if you can try a system restore to before this problem?

How do you restore to a later day?
Surely, you mean an earlier day?

well thanks for your help, when i tired to re-install windows it said my disk was damaged and could not continue :( guess I'll have to drive to tiger direct and buy a new hdd.
Summary: I've heard you can d/l different boot screens for XP that will make it look like Mac OS X booting, etc....where do i do this. XP doesnt have logo.sys like 9x did. Thanks, PCjabber ...
