Armada e500 problem

[almega]

I have a Armada e500 with winxp installed. I turned it on this morning and on the screen it says "restoring hibernating state...(abort=crtl+alt+del)". I've tried turning it on and off several times, alt,crtl,del like the screen says,.I've tried a boot disk and it won't reboot, it just goes into the same screen. The documentation doesn't give any help, does anyone have any other ideas??

can you boot into safe mode?

What if you actually let it restore from hibernation? That's what you want to do, right, as you're turning it on??

Try pressing and holding the "backspace" key while powering on the computer. This worked for 9x machines, but I have never had to try it on 2000/XP machines.
