However, upon reboot right after the initial startup menu, it simply hangs. I tried rebooting the machine several times but in vain. My Bios detects my hard drive. Also since I get the initial startup menu, something must be wrong or corrupted in the Boot loader. Can somebody point me or give me any hints about fixing this problem. I have really some information in my hard drive which I want to keep or restore. Thanking you... -- With best regards and good wishes, Yours sincerely, Tek Bahadur Limbu (TAG/TDG Group) Jwl Systems Department Worldlink Communications Pvt. Ltd.
