Re: windows cant load



I should have posted the instruction in my previous post. But if you have the Windows XP CD follow these instructions:

1.Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.

Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.

2.When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.

4.When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

5.At the command prompt, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

6.At the command prompt, type exit , and then press ENTER to restart your computer.

This takes a bit longer, but the system should boot back into Windows.

when booting up another computer here at home, my sons, it goes to the page
that says start in safe mode or choose last known configuration page and then
it just starts rebooting itself and doing the same thing over and over again.
What can I do? I think it said something at one time about windows could not
load because -windows/system32 (something like that) could not load and to
use cd to repair and to press r for recovery but it doesnt help when i try
it. safe mode doesnt work, I tried every way and doesnt work. any suggestions?
