Sorry, got late in replying,

I checked my hard disk on some other system and it was working fine,

Now, i will test by uninstalling the USB ports,

Any suggestion will help,

I ran chkdsk /p which showed me that "there are errors on the disk"
Then I ran chkdsk /p in order to recover.

After this I again ran chkdsk /p which did not show mw any error.
Now I will test the disk on another system adn will update.

Dear Mobinga,

Please suggest how did you diagnose that the hard disk issue is there,

I have an observation:
While installing WinXP when I selected repair option, it gives me a command prompt. From this command prompt I am able to view the directories and files in d:\ drive of hard disk(I installed Win XP on C:\ drive).
As I am able to view the contents of one of the drives of Hard Disk then does this mean that hard disk issue is there??

Please suggest,

I tried installing another OS --Ubuntu but the sestup hangs after starting and shows a black screen.


Also, I performed the following steps:

1. My machine have two RAM cards--one is 128 MB and the other one is 256 MB.

2. I took out the both and then inserted only 128 MB card.

3. Then performed the WinXP installation and Ubuntu but couldn't install due to restart problem.

Please suggest if I need to take out some other hardware from the system.

Dear All,

I m also facing the issue where my PC restarts while booting and doesn't get to Windows (Windows XP).


As suggested by GoodMuyis I performed the following steps (but could not able to solve the problem):

1. Reinstalled the xp.
2. Used the option---- "Press R to repair using recovery console"
3. Used the option---- "Selecting operating system(if you only have on press 1 and enter key to continue)"
4. Ran the command---- chkdsk /r
5. After completion of disk check restarted the system

RESULT: The issue remained there. I repeated the above steps but the issue is still there.

Please suggest if this is a hard disk issue.

If you need any more information please reply.

Please help me in solving this problem. Even a single reply will count,

Thanks and regards
Ashish
