Windows XP Support >> XP Pro blank screen Computer boots up to a blank screen; will boot in safe mode. The system
restore doesn't work. Sometimes the boot with network works, but sometimes
not or network will stop working in IE. I can't get a normal boot.

I've read all the other posts about this, but I don't know what to do next.
Can someone help an idiot?

If your system was preinstalled, you will have to determine what recovery
methods the maker of the system has given you.

Windows XP Support >> XP Pro blank screen Thanks Mark, I see the warnings, but I cannot back up to another drive as the
networking isn't, if you know what I mean. It is running XP from an install
in 2002, so I don't know if I have the right disk.

I will work through it and see what happens. I really don't want to lose any
data as it is my main server.

Windows XP Support >> XP Pro blank screen After reading the XP repair install, I am worried about using it. It is my
server and I have so many files...I'd had to lose them. I have searched ways
to get my back-up drive on, but the Safe Mode appears to block it from
connecting. Is there no better way?
