I am trying to help a friend with her Dell Dimension B110, about one year old.
When it boots, the displayed bar for the BIOS gets nearly to the end before it hangs and the hard drive starts chattering. Hitting F2 to enter CMOS Setup causes the chattering to stop. If you then exit Setup with ESC it boots normally into Windows XP.
I've done a virus scan and a System Restore to an earlier date and these did not help.
Any thoughts as to what's going on and a possible fix would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
