Trying to help a friend that had another friend replace their
hardrive.  Will attempt to start in safe mode when I can get
it that far then goes to a screen with the pentium logo. Then
freezes. Any idea?

Is there anything on the hard drive that needs to be saved?  If not, just reload XP.  If you need to get some files off the hard drive, try http://www.knoppix.net/ .  Hard to troubleshoot it without more info/type/alarms/falsing lights...etc.  Good luck!

And... by what procedure did this hard drive replacement happen?  

 



Doesn't sound like they even finished it.  Make the chump that messed it up fix it.
