When I reboot my T410 it starts the boot process and prompts me to enter my pass phrase. I enter my pass phrase and the screen goes to "cryptsetup: sda5_crypt setup successfully" and that is where it stays.
1. Check your BIOS to be sure your computer will boot from a CD.
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the "Delete" or F2 or "F12"
key, or as directed at the startup screen, immediately after booting. Set the
first boot device to "CDROM" or "DVDROM" instead of
"hard drive" if it isn't already.
2. MS-DOS command prompt
Insert the Windows XP installation CD into your CD or DVD drive
and restart the computer. When prompted, choose to start from the MS-DOS
command prompt with CD support. The MS-DOS command prompt will appear in a
moment.
3. Start SMARTDRIVE by typing "SMARTDRV" at the DOS prompt
and pressing enter. You don't have to run SMARTDRIVE, but copying the files
will be much quicker if you do. The computer will display the DOS prompt again.
4. Enter "CD I386" at the DOS prompt to change to the
directory where the setup program starts.
5. Enter "WINNT" at the prompt to start Windows XP setup.
The installation program will copy files to your computer and then display a
message requesting to reboot.
6. Press the "Enter" key to reboot. The setup program will
start again and check that your hard drive format is compatible with Windows
XP. If not, it will guide you through partitioning and formatting the drive and
then ask you to reboot once more.
7. Press "Enter" to reboot. The computer will restart in Windows XP mode and automatically start the Windows Setup Wizard to detect your hardware and finish the installation.
1. Insert the restore disk into your computer's DVD/CD
drive. Prior login to your user account is not required.
2.Reboot your computer. Watch the boot screens and wait for
the onscreen prompt to press any key. If you do not get a prompt, reboot your
computer once more and skip to step four.
3.Press any key to boot from CD when prompted to do so. You
will now be taken to the first screen in the restore process. Follow the
onscreen prompts to finish restoring your machine.
4.Change your BIOS settings, if necessary, to boot from your
CD drive first. Common options for entering the BIOS include pressing
"ESC," "DEL" or "F12" on your computer's first
boot screen. If you don't know how to get to the BIOS, check your computer's
documentation for instructions. Once inside the BIOS, set the primary boot to
CD-ROM and save your changes. Exit the BIOS and wait as your computer reboots
and begins the restore process.
