Apologise for posting this here but I tried a WinXP forum and got spammed to hell for my troubles so...
Computer takes twenty mins to boot!stops at the page with the drives listed and that's it.Floppy light is always on,can't switch computer off,can't do anything to get into BIOS,safe mode etc.
After that time all of a sudden up she comes,Restore points do nothing so is it the battery or perhaps the CPU.
Happened all the time when power off at the mains but now does the same on restart.
This is my last shot before it goes so.anyone know enough to help?I'll buy another computer if necessary but if it'sjust the battery then I need to know for sure.
Once again i know this is not the forum for such but I could use the help and I'll think of you whenever I driink my next glass of Woods Navy.thanks if you can
