Using an M200 with SP2:

My computer will not boot. It starts to boot and shows the "Resuming
Windows" progress bar, gets to the end, and never shows the desktop.
It then reboots a few seconds later and shows the "Toshiba" logo
and goes to a screen that states:

"The last attempt to restart the system from its previous location
failed. Attempt to restart again?"

It then provides the following two options:

Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu
Continue with system restart.

When I select "Continue with system restart" it just starts this
whole process all over again.

Anyone have any idea why it might be doing this, and how I can get back
to my desktop? Should I try the second option? I wasn't sure what
deleting the "restoration data" meant.

Thanks!!!

Your system is blue screening and rebooting because of this. You don't
see the blue screen as XP is configured by default to write a mini-dump
file and reboot right away.

This means that the last time you shut down your computer you hibernated
it rather than shutting it down. The data being referred to here is the
contents of memory that were written to disk when hibernating. You're
going to have to choose this option. You'll loose any unsaved work in
any application that were open when you hibernated.
