Yes, I get the XP logo and then it crashes and reboots by itself. How do I "disable the automatic reboot after a crash and configure XP to make a full dump when crashing"? What is a "full dump"? Will this give me some error code? I consider myself a noob, when it comes to working under the hood with Windows, so I may need some simple terminology to work through this. Thanks.

Thanks in advance to all those that can help me. I'm running a HP nc6220 laptop with the latest upgrade of XP Pro on one hard drive, and Linux Ubuntu on another. Both OS's work fine when used in the laptop. I have the docking station that comes with this laptop. When I use this docking station with the Ubuntu OS in the laptop, everything works fine. When I use the docking station with the XP Pro OS in the laptop, the OS goes into a boot up loop and will not go any further. This tells me it's a Windows software problem since the docking station works as it should under Linux. Is there some kind of setting I need to change in Windows to stop the boot up loop when I'm connected to the docking station? I would appreciate any help in solving this (probably simple) problem.
