Greetings all,
I have a long question so thanks in advance for any help. A friend plugged his iPhone into his USB port on his ancient Presaro SR1110NX to update the iOS and got "USB port exceeded power limit". His USB mouse stopped working so he reset the computer. It booted up then stopped working so he brought it to me to try and fix. I couldn't even get it to boot now, the Power light just flashes, so I swapped out the 250W power supply for a 550W one. Now it powers up, but no boot, no POST beeps, etc... The HD is OK, so I cloned it with Acronis for safety sake, now I am attempting to swap the clone into another P4 box I had lying around. I booted off an XP home upgrade disc to try and repair the Windows installation. That seemed to work fine and it proceeded to 'fix' the Windows installation. It loaded all the XP files and then rebooted, but now it is stuck at the Windows XP bootup screen with the words, "Please Wait" with the mouse cursor as an hourglass. But it's been an hour now, so I don't think all the waiting in the world is gonna matter...
Any ideas out there?
