"If I'm able to run in safe mode, does that mean it is not a hard drive problem?"
Probably not, but what happens when you tried Last Known Good or Normal mode?
I have two computers w/ XP networked. One of them went down yesterday and will not reboot. It will run in safe mode. I'm currently running a virus scan in safe mode. Any ideas as to the problem? If I'm able to run in safe mode, does that mean it is not a hard drive problem?
