    How did you go about installing XP?

    What happens when you try to enter "normal mode"

      the usual way we do.. put the cd on the drive deleted the partitions reformatted the drive created a new partition installed xp then it restarted after the installation. it functions "well" enough until the windows logo.. after that blank screen..

        Could be, that your hard drive is going bad. Download Diagnostics disk.

          Sounds to me like this is definately your hard drive.  It sounds as if it might be going bad.
