    PC boot up disc

    I have a friends laptop that will only take 80% boot up then stalls would this be a scratch or faulty disc. also can you use discs from other models, it's xp.

      Best thing i would say, is back up drivers if possible and get a disc with Windows ?? whatever on it and do a clean install

      THE TRUTH
      The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

      Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
      The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

            I have installed the new 2009 XP Black on a few of my friends computers without any issues at all, you should give it a bash its a super OS.

              just googled this and its coming up as msword, what are you trying to do here? or done?

              By any chance are you using restore discs?

                  i think with it being a restore that word was also involved and should not affect the os at all.

                      Try installing SP3, it may solve the problem.
