After pressing the start up button on my acer travelmate 4200 the screen shows the acer logo with "for setup press f2" in the bottom left corner. then the screen changes to the windows xp logo with the boot bar underneath and it starts to boot up for about five seconds,then the screen image falshes once blue(blink of an eye flash)and then the screen goes blank and the laptop starts all over again. ive tried unplugging the battery and pressing the start button etc but to no avail. any assistance would be appreciated. sarah
Hard disk error, insert operating system disks and run a repair or a complete clean installation.

Well I have the same problem, I think it is a BIOS problem because after the acer screen it says Windows did not start succesfully. I saw start Windows normally but it has that "blink of an eye flash" as well, then it goes back and tries to boot up again. Maybe take it to a shop to get fixed.
