[PLUG-TALK] List Referral for that "other" OS

Can anyone recommend a list, similar to PLUG, but for that "other" OS?

I need to administer a system with XP installed. When I power it up, I
see the usual stuff about hitting <del> to get to the BIOS config, and I
can do that. When I let it continue, I get an XP splash screen, and then
a blank screen. The screen does not re-appear in response to the mouse
or random key strokes. It does not respond to <ctrl><alt><del>.

I can boot from an old Knoppix CD (4.0) and I can read directories on
the hard drive. Plus, the mouse works.

I assume this is not the right forum to pursue this problem, but if
someone knows a similar group geared to XP, I'd appreciate a pointer.

TIA.
