XP boot problem
Running XP SP3 home edition and for the past two days Windows starts loading (I get the initial Windows screen up) then I get a black screen which just stays there.
I can boot into safe mode with no problems, I can boot into Ubuntu (which is on the same disk) with no problem. Running chkdsk /r solved the problem yesterday, but I'm back to the black screen again this morning. Oh and Windows appeared to shut down normally last night.
Has anyone any ideas what the problem might be ? Or even where Windows hides the logs from chkdsk so that I can find out what, if anything, it found wrong ?
