You have several options to make your laptop boot off
the CD drive:
- Find the manual that came with it, then follow the instructions
that tell you how to get into the BIOS.
- Check the FAQs on the web pages of the laptop's manufacturer.
- Send and EMail to the manufacturer's helpdesk and ask them
how it's done.
Once you know, MAKE A NOTE OF IT for future reference!
If you cannot find out how it's done, take the machine to a
computer shop and let them show you.

The D drive is the cd drive, and the cd's won't launch. However, alloffers
indications are the cd drive is working.
So, assuming I have to re-boot, recover and repair from a cd, how do I get
to that option when it's not presented in the set-up menu options? It
these:I
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with networking, safe mode with Command Prompt
Enable boot logging
Enable VGA mode
Last Known Good Config
Directory Services Restore mode
Disable automatic restart on System Failure
Start Windows normally
Reboot
Return to OS Choices Menu
I've tried them all, and all go through the motions and return me to the
blue screen error message.

I'm working to re-boot from disk after the STOP: c000028 Corrupt
message. Seems none of my "f" keys will take me to a place where
case,can
options--nonechoose the D drive as my boot source. It gives me a list of
computerof
which applies to the D drive. Any suggestions?
I have the Barts PE ISO file burned to disk, but I can't get the
disk--thisto
launch it. I'm working on a HP Pavilion ze1210 laptop.
Even the Microsoft support #307545, calls for using a start-up
laptop came with four recovery disks, not a "start-up." In any
to beit
won't matter if the disk won't launch. And, the D drive appears
system?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
started?If so, how did you select a boot from D: before this problem
before?- If you have a Bart PE boot CD, were you able to boot from it
ableWhat happens when you try to boot from it now? If you were never
it isto boot from it then it is by definition not a Bart PE boot CD.1. The disks won't launch when inserted into the disk tray.
- 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.
I'll answer your questions in sequence:
What disk tray? Laptops usually have a permanently installed hard
disk - is this what you are referring to?
So, I was
looking for a way to select the D drive as the re-boot source. But,
options.not listed as an option when I use the "f" keys to give me set-up
they
Most laptops have an option to boot from the hard disk or from
the CD drive. What is this drive D:? An external disk?
2. No, this is the first time I've ever tried to use a Bart PE CD. I
downloaded it today.
You can download the TOOL to make a Bart PE CD but you must
then spend two or three hours making this CD, using your WinXP
Professional CD as a basis.
3. I tried using the "recovery" disks that came with the laptop, but
Iwon't launch, either.
What does "won't launch either" mean? Please be specific! Note that
many "Recovery" CDs will wipe your hard disk.
And, I was hoping to retrieve data that is stored on
the hard-drive rather than start from a clean slate.
You can do this with your Bart PE CD.
4. The laptop was purchased in 2002, and has never had any trouble--so
spaceconsider that a lucky thing!
I agree, and it seems that your luck prevented you from
observing the basic law of computing: That important files
must reside on at least two physically separate media, e.g.
in your laptop and on an external USB backup disk.
The blue screen with the corrupt registry error
message followed a disk defragment session.
I have had some raging battles in this newsgroup about the
benefits of defragging. I believe that in most cases the
benefits are small and unnoticeable and that there is a
real danger of getting a toasted system.
I had just burned several large
files to CD and deleted them from my laptop. I wanted to free-up
triedand
remove files I didn't need. Then, I launched the defrag. When itfinished,
the window was "locked" and I couldn't get it to end task. I even
blueto
end it through Task Mgr., but that wouldn't launch either. After many
attempts, I had to cut power, and force the restart. AFter that, the
offered,screen appeared. I've tried rebooting through all the "modes"
but
none work. Inevitably, it always returns to the blue screen w/errormessage.
Thanks in advance for any direction/wisdom you can share.
I would probably do this:
- Create a Bart PE boot CD and attempt to salvage my data files.
- If this did not work then I would remove the disk and install it in
an external USB enclosure so that it can be connected to some
other PC.
- Boot the machine from my WinXP installation CD and perform
a repair installation.
