yep, did that, it just kept recycling...
I finally got it to boot to safe mode command line and manually ran chkdsk
/r on the two partitions, and then just for yucks ran it on the c: drive,
and it found and fixed some errors on there also...
after doing that and running chkdsk 3 times on each partition (just to be
sure it found no new errors), I was able to get it to boot to windows, I
then manually modified the registry and it appears to be working...
one thing I discovered is when trying to run the "chkntfs /x" command, it
said it was an invalid command.. ? so I checked it on another XP machine I
have, and it worked on that one.. so not sure why that command isn't
available as both machines are XP Pro SP2.
at any rate, I appreciate the responses, Thanks to all.

Read the screen when it boots and do what is say to cancel the chkdsk.
"Press any key to cancel within 6,5,4,3,2,1.... seconds"

the chkdsk is not finding any errors.. it just keep cycling..
isn't there a way to force a bootup?? C: drive was not checked, these
are just data partitions.. shouldn't have anything to do with bootup.
thanks,

| hi,
|
| I discovered some issues with a few files on a secondary hard drive on
my
| system, so decided to do a chkdsk, went into Administrative tools/disk
| management, and right clicked on the drives, (D: and F:) and chose to
run
| chkdsk, it said it had to reboot and run on bootup, I said ok... now
it is
| in an endless cycle of running on bootup...
|
| I've tried booting up to safe mode, and bootup normally, neither
work.. the
| one for safe mode just stops after showing a bunch of stuff it is
supposedly
| installing, and does nothing... booting up normally just continues the
| cycle.
|
| How do I stop it and get it to finish booting into windows?
|
| thanks,
