trap error startup

child using Kazaa- left computer - came back while d/l and computer looks like it had rebooted\ but stalled.
Restarted computer - it goes thru Bios/Post, clears screen and then shows a Trap error b 4 windows even starts and then shows 2nd trap error
and the computer then has the typical dark screen
and blinking cursor - using NTFS disk and diagnostic hardware - i can c harddive but any ideas how to get back up short of reformating etc.
Machine is HP-510 and of course dont have the software disks except for OS

Thanx in advance

Yuk! I have absolutely no idea as to the cause of this problem or, for that matter, the solution

Can you get the system up and running with a boot disk?

 

i can boot with win98 & win2k so doubt if hardware problem - since its Ntfs win98 of course cant read harddrive.

so question - can i use any disks to start computer or should i try to boot with win2k cdr and just do a reinstall over old installation and hope it corrects problem (providing 'puter can boot off of cdrom disk - i know this can be done on win 9x system with no problem- of course that doesnt mean problem would be fixed)

but i never worked with ntfs and Winnt4 cdr has a "fix corrupted files" choice- does win2k have same thing ?

ill take whatever u got - i havent worked with ntfs to know problems

thanx
