Re: Windows XP won't start upon boot

Himanshu

Sorry but I agree with most of the comments by James Watkins. Whilst it is
true that many of us have our own ways of troubleshooting I would pick up on
these points.

Suggesting safe mode options is fine but it is best to simplify the
situation where a computer will not boot. Thus opting for Networking is a
move in the wrong direction. It would be better to disconnect all
peripherals, except keyboard, mouse and monitor! This would include
disconnecting all modems, routers rtc. Once the computer does boot you can
then look to add back devices to try to find out the cause of the problem.

Running Disk CleanUp before running chdsk can be helpful but this is a
non-starting computer so your point is academic until it does start.

Providing a link to an executable file is totally wrong. This is the way to
get a malware infestation. A Registry Cleaner for many are more likely to
make situations worse rather than better. I cannot see how the suggestion
will resolve the problem of a non-booting computer?
