compaq presario m2000 notebook

[jdublu]

running xp home. at bootup it would go thru bios then the windows xp loading window opened then it rebooted and kept rebooting. i ran a hard drive test in the phoenix bios and the test status said "#2-07 FAIL". also at bootup a BSOD would flash by and all i could read was unmountable_boot_volume. i put in the restore cd then tried the FIXMBR program and the results were "this computer appears to have a non-standard or invalid master boot record". i then ran C: chkdsk /r and it fixed one or more errors on the volume.
I rebooted and it loaded fine. so, i have it all up and running except the wireless network. it was fine on it b4 all this happened. i've tried everything i know of to get it back on the network and also online, but it won't. i'm all out of options that i know of. any help will be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

Completely remove your wireless network and reinstall it. If this does not work go to command prompt. Put your system disc in and type sfc/scannow. If it says your using the wrong disc use a computer with access to internet and cd burner to make a sp2 system disc. This might fix your problem.
