Quote from: ndfulfrequently on July 19, 2024, 04:07:02 AMI am only able to see a blinking cursor on the screen, or encounter an error message indicating the absence of a boot disk, or encounter some other kind of issue. For instance, if I configure a profile named HDA1 boot with the commands Clear, Clear, and Clear, there is a possibility that it may initiate the booting process of Windows XP from the second partition. What is the status of Windows 98 in the primary partition?It sounds like your system might be having trouble with booting due to partition or boot order issues. The blinking cursor or "boot disk not found" error suggests that your computer isn't finding the correct bootable partition or device. To resolve this, first, check your BIOS or UEFI settings to ensure the correct drive and partition are set as the primary boot device. For the issue with configuring profiles and booting, ensure that the partition with Windows XP is properly marked as active if you want it to boot. As for Windows 98 on the primary partition, it might be overshadowed by your boot configuration settings. Verify that the boot sequence and partition settings are correctly configured for each operating system. If needed, you might want to use a bootable utility disk to fix or restore the boot configuration.

All connections are good and the monitor is working as it flashes HDMI and monitor controls but no logo and I tried everything to get it to boot and nothing works. Using another computer i created a boot disk on a USB and then I downloaded Plop onto the USB and tried to boot my PC. It doesn't work. All i have is the same black screen/ What am I doing wrong? How can i get it to boot again? fnafIf you can't get into Safe Mode, try booting from the Windows Recovery Environment. You can create a Windows 11 recovery drive on a USB flash drive and boot from it to access recovery tools.
