Problem in booting

[Eng.Ahmed]

I've a compaq mini 110c-1111ev, it came with windows XP home edition, but it has a strange problem, when I shutdown it then open it again later, it freezes on Q logo & not responding, even F9 & F10 not working, I tried to install windows 7 on it, & it worked very well for a time, then the windows expired & started to restart each 2 hours as it was an RC version, so I told that it's not problem but after that the notebook starts to do like before, freez before booting, so I removed it & restore my XP copy, but it backs to the first problem, it freezes too long, I've to shut it down from the power button & start it again several times to respond, so I really dunno what to do...

As-salam alaykum, Ahmed! I was in Egypt from 2003 - 2004 and I loved it! What warm and friendly people live there. I learned how valuable the phrase "Imp shii" was in dealing with the annoying peddlers around the pyramids and in the Old Cairo Bazaar who didn't accept "La shukron" as a dismissal :lol:

To your problem - have you run "chkdsk c: /f /v" yet? It sounds to me like you might have some bad disk sectors.
