Laptop don't boot 563

'Protagonist' Thx Guys, got WinXP boot up for a while. Simple! Using recovery boot disk, than Chkdskr. It fixes bad sectors-volum. I say while, because it was very slow to boot after error checking, 20 minuts or more, heavy HD activity, than a window mbuttage poped up "page file is missing go to control panel to set it up" or some thing like that. Changed Page filevetiual memory managment to "auto" and every thing got screwed up again, blue screen back at reboot. So, I'm runnining Chkdskr again. Seems it's going over 50% now, but very slow. At very first Chkdskr, it only went to 50%, stopped and said Volume has one or more errors. Hope fully WinXP boots up better now and I leave what ever vertual memory size window puts in. First it was min 650 Meg max 1300? Meg. Get back later!

Your hard drive is failing, and needs to be replaced as soon as possible, before you lose the entire contents! Also, be very careful about downloading any operating system files directly from an unknown source, and relying on a blog for information. You are playing with the future of your data.
