If you have installed new software remove it from the device manager from Safe Mode. Also check if any drivers are being loaded that do not exist. Safe Mode is the best place to start.<br />
If you cannot get into Safe Mode, run an antivirus diskette on the machine. This sort of problem exists if you have a boot sector virus... especially if you run Bios Drive Overlay software on drives larger that 512Mb that do not support LBA mode.<br />
