I am having an issue with XP Media Center. My 1 year old turn of the surge protector which shut everything down (including the internet phone service).
Now when I try to boot, I get nothing but a blank screen, however it will boot into safe mode just not normal mode. I have followed the KB article (can't remember which one), installed the recovery console, booted into the recovery console, did a FIXBOOT, FIXMBR (which said it was corrupt) and a CHKDSK /P. All to no avail. 
I can not do an install over it since it is an HP and one of the types that, sure they give you recovery CD's but they re-format the hard drive.
Anybody have any thoughts on how to fix?
TIA
