HP Pavilion System Restore program hangs on last step

0

My uncle has a HP Pavilion PC. We tried to restore from the RESTORE Partition, but after almost completing the procedure it hangs in the last step. The harddisk is making a lot of noise, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I already tried to reset the BIOS to factory settings, based on an HP knowlegde base article, but that doesn't seem to work.

I also can't get into the Safe mode of Windows XP; it says the Setup hasn't completed yet.

Please help.

I often do an XP system restore, but my Pavilion laptop has issues restarting. I do a hard power down (4 seconds on power button), then power up, and if it starts properly, it says it has finished the restore. – ProfK – 2010-01-20T04:39:21.500

We reset the values in the BIOS of the computer, restarted the computer and completed the installation.
