Hello all -
I had a problem with my main computer where it would boot extremely
slowly, and sometimes reboot during startup. After progressively
escalating problems, the machine finally refused to boot off of the
disk. After trail-and-error testing the IDE disk, motherboard, and IDE
cable, I decided that the problem was the motherboard, and replaced
it.
Now the machine boots to the drive okay, but the machine reboots
during startup. After seeing what was loading, I discovered that the
machine reboots during a slight pause after it says it's loading
mup.sys.
Of course, I can't boot into the machine to troubleshoot it; it
reboots no matter what mode I boot into. Unfortunately I don't have a
rescue disk. My installation CD has disappeared after several moves.
What might be causing this reboot?
If bet my problematic windows system disk on another system, is there
a way I can edit the registry on it?
In view of long history of problems on your machine, I suspect
that your Windows installation is damaged. A new motherboard,
unless identical in every respect to the old one, would make
matters worse, not better. Your best course of action is a fresh
installation onto a formatted disk. Ask a friend for a copy of his
WinXP CD, making sure that it is the same type as you have
(OEM or Retail), then enter your product key when prompted.
While it is theoretically possible to edit your registry while the
system disk is installed in some other machine, in practice this
is unlikely to work. Not only does the typical registry have
10,000 or more lines but you would not know what you're
looking for and if you found the problem key(s) you would not
recognise them. They are not flagged with a red exclamation
mark!
