Hi could any one please help, my computer a Dell Dimension 2400, with windows XP Pro will not boot.
when i press the Start button I get the message “ Primary drive 1 not found press F1 to continue, Press F2 to run set up utility.
I pressed F1, and windows xp starts to load.
The windows XP Logo appears, for a few seconds then the screen goes black, and just stays Black.
the computer was working ok when i last used it and it shut down quite normally, but when i came to boot it this morning the above happened.
Thanks in advance.
