When you say it won't restart, are you getting any error messages? Does the Windows XP logo come up at all? Do you get a blue screen with something like "INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" written on it. You might also want to try pressing the F8 key at boot up (or keep pressing it) and if a boot menu appears, look for an option to start in Safe Mode. What make is the PC? (or is it one you've put together yourself?) Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
