Win XP Pro (unsure of the service pack)

When my friend's notebook boots up, it shows the dell logo, goes to a cursor
and stops.

When I boot it in safe mode, the last thing shown is (somepath)/drvmain.sdb

And then it hangs.

I've run memtest86+ for 3 hours, just to make sure: it's ok.

Any ideas?

here is are some results
for the file you mentioned.

browse through them and
see if any are applicable
to resolve your issue:

then let us know what steps
you have taken and the kb.
