Anybody knows how I can enter Setup and what I have to do please?
Thank you very much

1. Best option: do you have an emergency boot disc to use for just such an occasion?
2. Just a guess: Can you go to DOS (the black screen) and get a C:\ and then type "win" or "windows"
If I think of anything else to offer, I'm not expert, I'll send it along. Don't panic, someone should be able to get you going again.

Maybe it's too obvious,
but what have you changed since the last time everything worked OK?

Hello again,
Thank you very much... It turns out that you have to boot the system from the CD (you press Del or "Supr", in Spanish to enter BIOS and then set the computer to boot from there), and you have to put Windows 2000 installation disk. Once there, there is a repair option.

For the thing to go well, you need to have the Emergency Repair Disk (which I didn't have), or, alternatively, you choose the option to repair the system from the console, which takes you to MS-DOS and there you type CHKDSK /P or /R... that checks your hard drive and, after prompting, checked and repaired something which had not been noticed before... Now I have my Emergency Repair Disk and my computer is back on... hopefully for a loooooong time ).
Good luck,
