Helping friend on his compaq. it will not start up no way, no how.
used the xp cd and restarted. tried to do recovery to last known configuration.
Would not work came up with same start up menu items.
Safe mode would not start up in safe mode.
Tried to Re-install. wanted me to select what partition to re-install.
