but it is odd that
you were not able

however, it is probably
due to that chkdsk fault.

what you might try is
to boot with your windows
cd and go into the recovery
console.

run a

chkdsk

then run

exit and see
if you can boot
back in and into
safemode without
the cd.

if not then the following
commands may be needed

fixmbr
fixboot

then exit and
try again.

at the prompt to get more
info on these commands)

Correct, the CHKDSK does not complete and keeps rerunning. It looks as
if the computer is booting up but then it defaults to the CHKDSK
screen and gives me this message:

Checking file system on C:
The type of file system in NTFS

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel
the disk check but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To
skip disk checking, press any key within 10 second(s).

Stage 1 of 3


then if flashes this next message:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this
stop error screen, restrat your computer(I did)
If this screen appears again follow these steps.

Check to make sure you have adequate disk space(I installed a new
hard
drive several months ago which has more than enough disk space) If a
driver is indentified in the stop message, disable the driver or
check
with the manufacturer for driver updates try changing viedo adapters.

Check with hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory
options such as caching, or shadowing.

If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8(actually F2=Setup, F12=boot menu) to select
advanced startup options and then select safe mode. (F8 doesn't do
anything)


Tecnical Information:


Stop 0X0000007E(OXF66BAC27 OXF7C4253C)
thcspud.sys-address F66BAC27 base at F66A2000 Date stamp 3b8d7887




then it starts all over again. (The process probably doesn't take more
than a minute).


So far, I have tried clicking F12 with with a normal and hard drive
boot but it went right back to CHKDSK.

I've also tried clicking F8 and the following:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration(your most recent settings that worked)
Debugging Mode
Start Windows Normally
Reboot
Disabled Automatic Reboot After System Failure
Enable Boot Logging

None of these worked, when I tried the Safe mode it started, but then
stopped and ended at this line:

multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Windows|System32\Drivers|agpcPQ.sys


I will try your suggestion and hopefully it will resolve this issue.
The weird part about this was the computer was fine before I updated
it. I'm wondering if it was the update itself that caused this?
