Well the title says the main problem. Here are the details:
Yesterday I'm noticing it's taking a long time to be able to actually view my C:\ from the Windows Explorer, So i figured I would run ScanDisk on it, just because I hadn't run it since I had got my system up and running. So XP tells me that it needs to run it with some system files that I'm currently using, and would I like to have scandisk run the next time I reboot. I say ok. I immediately close all my applications, and restart my box (from Start | Shutdown | Restart) It reboots and POST's fine, the XP Pro logo comes up and Scan Disk starts running. Since it's late, I figure I will go to bed.
The next morning, Scan Disk is finished, and it's still in the Scandisk screen telling me this. So i hit <enter> nothing. I hit ESC. nada. I hit caps lock and number lock. No lights. hrmm. SO i hit the reset button on my computer. Now it's time to go to work, so I figure it should be good when I get home. Wrong. Same deal.
I try this method 2 more times, and both times my keyboard gets locked out before ScanDisk will let me skip over it. Bastige. So now, no matter what I can't get into WIndows. I've tried going to my XP disk, and doing a repair install. But it only takes me to the recovery console, and well i don't know what to do from there. I don't have a floppy drive. I can get to the screen where XP tells me that I might have had a problem rebooting and if i would like to go to safe mode, or start up normally, blah blah. But as soon as i hit a arrow key, the timer stops moving, and the cursor doesn't move at all. So... what should I do?
TIA
