Reloading XP2 sir...I am using XP sp2.when i turn on the system it loads os,but instead of welcome screen it automatically restarts from begining for 2or3 times and then desktop appears.the problem is while loading OS.for this I formated my system 8or 9times of different cds&versions,But the same problem repeats.Someone said that it may be Harddisk problem.Is it true...?.please solve my problem. thank you

My opinion is hard drive has faulty sector and possibly an increasing number of them. If it's under warranty I would have the HDD replaced. If not under warranty you can try to go to the HDD manufacturers site and download the HDD utility software. There will be a low level format utility. This will mark bad sectors during the format process, if you keep getting more bad sectors when you try to reload OS your drive is toast...toast...toast... -Good luck

After you test the memory, you should test your hard drive with a utility downloaded from the manufacturer's website. DFT from Hitachi works with other drives also http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT If you press F8 repeatedly while the computer is booting you should get an option to disable automatic restart. This should then leave you with a blue screen error message which may provide more information. Did you instal the operating system while the computer was connected to the internet?
