Re: computer wont boot.

You do have yor system setup to boot from the CDROM drive as first, correct?
Once you get into the Recovery COnsole, you will be prompted and you should
be at the prompt that looks like this:

C:\Windows>

When booting up, your screen should be blue with white lettering. ANd it
should say WIndows XP.
Just double checking ... because I rebooted my system, with the bootable CD
in the drive, to make sure.

I've started the recovery console twice tonight and it never asked me for
a
password, my account is the only one on teh comp and it has no password
associated to it, so that might be why.

I went dow and tried the listsvc command again and i still get nothing,
just
a fresh c:\> prompt appears

Sorry ... you need to boot from the Windows XP installation disk.
It will ask you if you want to run the Recovery Console, you will then
enter
'R' (without quotes).
It will then ask for your Administrator password, then you will be able
to
use listsvc.

Hope you have your Windows XP Installation CD. You need to go into
Recover
Mode, type listsvc, check that agp440 is present and marked Boot,
then
type:
disable agp440.

Then reboot.

My computer decided to suddenly reboot itself last night, and
ever
since
then
windows just will not boot. When i try and start in normal mode I
get
the
windows splash screen and the little bar under the logo goes
about
one
and
a
half times then it just reboots itself again, when i try and
start
in
safe
mode, I see the files its loading then the last one its gets to
is
AGP440.sys, then restarts. i just can not get into windows.

Hopeing for an option aside from reformat but if its all i got
then
will
do
it.
