Re: RE-boot issues-XP Home

Assuming that D is your CD drive - are you familiar with accessing the BIOS?
If so - set the boot order to indicate the CD drive first.

I'm working to re-boot from disk after the STOP: c000028 Corrupt registry
message. Seems none of my "f" keys will take me to a place where I can
choose the D drive as my boot source. It gives me a list of
options--none
of
which applies to the D drive. Any suggestions?
I have the Barts PE ISO file burned to disk, but I can't get the computer
to
launch it. I'm working on a HP Pavilion ze1210 laptop.
Even the Microsoft support #307545, calls for using a start-up disk--this
laptop came with four recovery disks, not a "start-up." In any case, it
won't matter if the disk won't launch. And, the D drive appears to be
working--it engages, just never actually launches.

Your post is a little confusing.
- Why select drive D: as a boot source? Is this a multi-booting system?
If so, how did you select a boot from D: before this problem started?
- If you have a Bart PE boot CD, were you able to boot from it before?
What happens when you try to boot from it now? If you were never able
to boot from it then it is by definition not a Bart PE boot CD.
- KB307545 asks you to insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive.
Did you try this? What happened?
- What is the history of the machine? What happened just before this
problem started.
