Hi,
Before installing Linux on this PC I had a dual OS on the other one
(Mandriva/XP). I fouled up when removing the linux and got left with the
bootloader. It was OK for ages although I had to wait and select XP every
time at boot. Now a snag: On boot the computer gets to 'Verifying Pool
Data......'
hangs giving error code L 99 99 99..........
Any ideas?
Thanks
Stuart
It could be a Master Boot Record problem (corrupted). I seem to
remember that there is an automatic way of repairing the 'MBR' on the
Win XP installation disk. However, I don't run XP very often. I fire
it up maybe once every 12 months (or slightly more if I have to repair
my brother's PC). So, I am not sure if it is easy to get to...
