After been sat for about a year (indoors), my Dell XP laptop will not boot.
1 It will go through the repair, but that doesn't succeed
2 There is a Dell checking utility. That's got a full set of OK results for memory, hard drive etc.
3 The laptop will not even boot up from the XP CD.
4 Viruses etc are very unlikely, as I don't connect the laptop to the internet.
Any ideas on how to proceed ?

- I need the laptop running XP, as it contains diagnostic software for my car, which requires a 32 bit OS.
- Ideally, I would repair the installation, as the software for my car has a very lengthy installation process, with numerous upgrade steps.
