replace hard drive or reinstall XP
Thanks for the obvious advice but a Mac is not in the budget.
For those still with me, a 2009 vintage Dell Vostro 200 minitower at the office died. I can boot into safe mode and do as I please but it hangs while booting into regular mode. It'll go as far as loading most of the stuff that has icons by the clock then I'll have a pointer cursor that moves but does nothing or an hourglass cursor that moves but does nothing. chkdsk says 0 bad sectors. Using 40GB of a 320GB HD. It sounds to my novice mind like the HD is fine but there's a problem with XP. Thoughts?
