folder into the systems or root by accident...

Uncle Vinnie - if that is the problem -google fastfat.sys - lots of info
available. (Also Microsoft Support).

It stopped at Fastfat.sys.

I 'expanded' during msconfig to replace it, no luck.. still hangs...

If computer boots in safe mode but not normal boot a faulty drive is
indicated - will not be corrected via restore function.
Some options: Msconfig - select diagnostic startup it still unsuccessful
clear all items under startup tab. Select booting with boot log option -
check log entries for entry at which boot stopped.

No luck.. Apparently I had checked off not to do system save, and
forgot to uncheck it.

It did start up, and generated a Windows reactivation window due to
hardware changes.. odd, but I followed it through and entered the new
number....

Still back to where I was... safe mode, it starts, normal with all but
'diagnostic' it will not...

Help, thanks?!

not sure how ipods work, but i guess that they are designed for
downloading music from the internet. So I can probably guess that
windows is having trouble starting up because of an internet
connection that either windows could not close prior to shutting down,
or the internet connection is taking precedence and windows cannot
properly load up.

An easy fix to begin with is to simply restore windows to a date that
it was known to be functional. But before restoring, lets take a
chance with a menu option called startup to last known good
configuration. This is a boot menu option that is available when you
press the f8 key at the beginning of boot up. If there was a problem
with a driver configuration, as you think there may have been, this
option will use a functional state it saved. If you get into normal
mode with this, then problem is solved, for the mean time. At least
this will get you back into a functional state where you can hunt down
the problem.

If not, then reboot to safe mode and do a restore to a date prior to
today or yesterday, prior to the problem you have now. System restore
is a feature under system tools, in accessories via your start
menu.......

I really need some help please....

XP Home 'hangs' on Normal startup, but not in safe mode...

I have disabled all start up items (msconfig) except 'diagnostic -
basic
drivers'....

All the things I thought it could be, aren't.. like antivirus,
spyware
detector, etc....

Could it be a basic driver gone bad? The last thing I think my
daughter was
working in was her iPod...


How can I find what is causing XP to hang on startup so I can begin
to fix it???


Thanks for your help...
