Subject: Startup problems
Hi folks,
I have a problem I am hoping someone can help me with.
I have lent a friend my 70ct (Win98 se) which was working fine until last
night. The battery ran out and the machine 'died' before he could plug in
the external power supply. Now every time he tries to reboot, it insists on
going into Safe Mode. The next reboot will freeze then the next Safe Mode
only which then repeats over.
Any ideas what the problem might be? He has not tried installing any new
hardware or software so it is not a driver problem. I am wondering if the
power completely ran out before during the hibernate and so it is trying to
restart from this but is corrupted? Sound reasonable? Any way to do a fresh
reboot ignoring any hibernate data? Or any other ideas??
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Andy.
