his pc can still boot in safe mode, which made me think the drive was ok, and that its a software conflict that only pops up with the normal Win XP startup.
Unfortunately his old pc cant take my hd, but I will try putting his hd into my pc and see if it runs.
I thought of dumping all of his data onto my external hd, then reformatting his drive and putting a spanking new windows install on, but if he has a dodgy file thats causing the crash, wont it revert when I put all his info back ?
I'll try it anyway and post the results.
Thanks for the input !
