Sadie,
Thank you for your help finally resolved the problem
with your help. I was able to "F2" at the attempt to boot
and get the bios screen and then "alt-p" to the page that
shows the boot device and highlight the "cd drive" and "U"
till it was the top device and then "esc" and "change and
save" and "enter". Then I rebooted using the cd that came
with the laptop and after a long process I was able
to "repair and reload the windows system" this doesn't
effect the programs or files just thw windows operating
system. I then enabled ICF and downloaded McAfee and MS
updates with no trouble other than 8 hrs time as there
were 17 updates at 28k. That is quite a change from win95
or win98 I may have to buy a copy and upgrade mine. I also
bought a copy of Curt Simmons "Windows XP Secrets" It is
well worth the price.
