I installed a new, second drive, and Ghost her original drive to this new, backup drive. |
I'm very happy to report that the problem is now solved:
HP has a patch to "Fix for Recovery Issue with XP Service Pack 1."
which supposedly affects certain HP and Compaq computers
Download and use
SP1RcvryFix.exe found on the following page (the URL is one long string, no spaces):
http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/pf-new.cgi...al_201170.html
Follow the instructions exactly and BE VERY PATIENT: At several points there were LONG waits with splash screens or blank screens but all went according to the procedure. I had to follow the the final "If the system does not start up properly....." 4-step routine.
Good luck
