windows xp - WinXP computer hangs at boot and then cycles to "F1, F2" screen


I have a Dell desktop that is hanging at the Windows XP splash screen and eventually (after about 5 minutes) cycles to a "F1 to retry boot F2 to enter setup utility".


I tried to start the computer in Safe Mode but it eventually cycles to the same "F1, F2" screen.


What are the likely causes and what are the remedies?



Answer



I ran DFT on the computer and it shows that the HD is going. That would explain the strange symptoms.
