Computer refuses to boot Debian
 
Hi everybody

My desktop PC (Intel Pentium 4) is a dual boot, running Debian and Windows XP, using GRUB as bootloader.

Some time ago, Debian stopped working.

I've tried Ubuntu and Knoppix Live CDs, to access my files. I have also tried reinstalling from Debian CDs and using rescue mode.
(The CDs work fine on other systems)

All CDs load their initial menus without a problem. However, as soon as I try to boot, install or enter rescue mode, I get...
"Parsing ELF.....Booting kernel....." and then nothing.
They all stop and no error messages are displayed.

I hope somebody can tell me what's wrong.

Thanks,

Milan

I fear you need to format the system.It happened with me also previously I ended up formatting it.
