easy way to fix any problem....just format the hdd and reinstall windows. since it's a new comp...there isn't much on there anyways. try just reinstalling windows before you format. hope this helps. |

try this.
Turn off the computer
Turn it on...and while it is turning on keep your finger on the F8 key. This will put you in safe mode. Go to programs and into system tools. You should have something that says "system restore".
Good luck. |

How old is the computer? If it is less than a year old, you can still call hp tech support. |

The only way is as Bernie says.What actually happens when you hold the F8 key down at the start up? What do you get on the screen ? |

You are still under warranty...call hp and have your receipt handy. They should be able to help you out free of charge. |

what i would do.. if i had that problem is make a disk http://www.bootdisk.com/ get a winNT/XP disk. put that on a nice formatted floppy start ur pc and then let the disk do its stuff and then have the xp CD inserted to install windows XP. if the disk dont start look in the BIOS to see if floppy is bootable. |
