Reply: (edit)unplug any device that you have just added (including the cable modem). If that doesnt work, try removing all hardware but the video card and add them back one at a time until it stops working again. I am suggesting this route as you dont have a windows disk, if you did, you could do a repair install

Reply: (edit)I believe a Hewlett Packard system should have recovery software loaded on the hard drive. Check their web site for information on the recovery procedure. Do yourself a favor BACKUP!
Sorry, I do not check for private messages

Reply: (edit)Ham is correct, unless it has been formatted at some point, it has a hidden partition that you can boot to and restore. It will overwrite anyhting on your HD though so be aware of that. Haven't used one of theirs in a while but, if you can find the keystroke during the boot for a boot menu you should see the option. Maybe F12 (or thta may be IBM)
