First off my computer spec's : HP XT 868 running windows XP pro, 1.2ghz, 512ram, 80gig hd and a geforce4 TI 4400. Now onto the problem.
All of a sudden one day I woke up in the morning went to boot up computer and nothing happened, well something happened this: Computer turns on fine, no weird noise or nothing. Well when I turned it on it goes to the blue HP screen makes a booting up noise which is normal then straight to a black screen with the cursor blinking on the top left corner and thats it, it wont boot up to windows, i recieve no error messages. I opened the computer up nothing looked fried or out of place, I disconnected and re-connected everything and still encounter the same problem of going back to the black screen with the blinking cursor and never booting to windows. I tried entering safe mode( didnt work), I tried putting in the sys recovery cd's that came with the computer and win xp cd, then restarting but nothing helps. Anything from you guys would be great since I have info on my computer with is very important to me. Thanks for any help you can give me.
