Background: ran chkdisk as a routine maintenance. XP went to endless reboot. i tried booting from original XP disk, going to recovery console and I guess reinstalling kernel32.dll. still cycling. i am unable to reach safe mode but advanced options menu allows me to disable automatic restart so i could see the blue screen warning. Going to las known configuration has no effect. i have SP2 XP home edition. What do i do now?



Try the following:

1. boot from a Windows CD and go to recovery console.

2. Copy gdi32.dll from c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\gdi32.dll to c:\windows\system32\gdi32.dll. (Do keep a backup copy of the old gdi32.dll in c:\windows\system32 directory)

3. Reboot normally
