Windows fails to boot and stops after Mup sys. Will not start in safe mode or anything. Tried to repair using original recovery disk but it stops after the setup screen saying'Examining 76348 MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi...'
has Stop error codes.
Will not go to recovery console or Windows xp licence agreement page

Sounds like perhaps a hard drive failure.

What is the exact make and model of the computer?

What are the verbatim error messages?
