Title: Computer cant even get to windows logo
Post by: Galangster on July 23, 2006, 04:07:10 PM

my computer was recently out for awhile until i checked all the wires and it looks like the cd drive was not connected...
i put in the windows xp cd and once it checks for a boot disk the screen goes blank...
the disk drive says its reading the cd but then it stops reading and the screen is still blank...
does anyone know wuts wrong?

You need tto post a LOT  more details to get  meaningful help. As CD drives don't  just become disconnected, was there some sort of monkeying inside the case prior to the problem?

What else is  involved in the history here? Why are  you  trying to reinsttall WIndows? Is that a real  Windows CD, very shiny, that says Microsoft on it?
