Windows will not bootup, Black screen with YoYo displayed
« on: May 21, 2007, 10:13:00 AM »
I have a really funny but extremely frustrating problem.  I cannot get my Windows XP to boot up.  On the black boot-up screen, after it displays "Verifying DMI Data Pool ..." it just displays "YoYo" and then fails to boot.

I have tried doing a repair with the bootable Windows XP CD and also have dome FIXBOOT and FIXMBR from the Recovery Colsole.  Nothing seems to work!

This may be some sort of boot virus.  I suggest to slave the drive into another system and do a full virus scan on it.  If still no, boot up a Windows 98 cd and run "fdisk /mbr" on it.
I must travel the path of conquest... power is necessary in order to walk that path.
