shellbeekate Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hello. This is my first forum post, I hope that I can make my problem as clear as possible! I still have a 2003 windows desktop. (yah I know....) but it's been a great computer. A few months ago it started "crashing" and an orange and green light appeared on the hard drive. Not blinking. The only way to "wake it up" was to unplug the computer or turn it off by holding down the power button. At first I thought it was going into some "hibernation" state. But I read a lot about hibernation for windows and nothing added up. Just recently my windows won't even turn on. It goes to the page where the safe mode feature is. I've tried all the modes you can run it in, but nothing works. Anyone got any ideas? Also, is there a way that I can copy all the memory from my hard drive onto an external hard drive through the boot menu? (since I can't go beyond that)I would appreciate anyone's help! Thanks!Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Do you mean you have a 2003 PC with some version of Windows on, or you have a PC with Windows Server 2003 installed on it ?If the first case, what is it - Windows 2000, XP or some earlier version ?
