RE: Win2K looping upon bootup

[Konrad Kliewer]

I have seen this problem with computers with marginal power supplies.  You might want to check and see if your power supply is going bad.

The machine was rebuilt from scratch; no GHOST.  It was working fine for several months up until a day or so ago.

are you trying to build the machine from ghost image? If so, your may controller card issues or the image could have been built on a hard drive that is bigger than the destination drive. those 2 issues caused boot-loops for me when I first started working with ghost.

Firstly, my heart goes out to all those families who lost loved ones in that tragic attack.  This e-mail list helped me deal with the emotional torment that I felt from the very first day of the attack.  Reading through 350+ e-mails relating to the attack made me feel very close to the pain/frustration of the citizens of the United States as well as others throughout the rest of the world. 

      I have an issue that may be trivial to some but I'll ask anyway.  Win2K machine on a Dell Precision 410 (Pentium II with 128Mb RAM (ecc) Diamond Pro FireGl video card) does not get past the "starting Windows 2000" (screen with the horizontal bar graph loading).......it just reboots again over and over, looping.  Memory, HDD, CPU or video card failure may be the culprit(s) but the system is in a remote location and these can not be ruled out so easily.  Booting up in Safe mode results in same problem.  Any ideas as to how to isolate the problem remotely?  Thanks in advance!
