Hello everyone,

I have an Acer Laptop and i seem to face the following problem.. During startup my laptop hangs in the screen just before "Welcome" of WinXP (i mean the screen with the small flag). The HDD stops working and it can stay there forever if i dont switch it off from the power button. I tried to start it on safe mode, but still it seems to hang.. any advices would be welcome!!

thnx a lot in advance!
