Hi, this is my first posting.
I recently installed windows XP home (upgrade to Win 98) ever sense, Windows will not boot up completely unless the
CD Rom door is open. Window will hang after showing my
system information, ie processor speed , memory, disks found
and will state press f2 to enter set up. From this point it doesn't
matter what you do, it just stays on this screen.
However, if after turning the power on, you immediately open the
CD rom door, the computer will boot up XP and run fine with the exception that you can't use the CD rom it must remain open.
If you close the cd rom, your arrow pointer also has what looks like a blinking cd attached to it.
I've opened the computer and it appears all of the connections are still good. I've looked in the devise manager and it says the
cd rom drive is working properly.
Any Ideas???
System info:
Mircon
Pentium II 400 mhz
384 MB RAM
8Gig HD
CD-Rom
CD-RW
