Hello,
I try to get my Presario R3000 to load windows after a random cleanup and it hangs at 34min. I've tried the cmd prompt and that doesn't seem to work, also tried the very same slipstreamed SP# disk that was on there a while ago. I've read this happening to other PC's even but after every attempt I just get sick of working on it and throw my hands up???

Sounds like your hard drive might have problems. Has your laptop been slow and booting before, or given notices that the hard drive might fail?
