Re: windows cant load

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

ok it finally finished and it says- "system restore finished. Restart the PC
and remove the cd when the PC boots up"- I clicked restart and cd ejected
itself, and I'm back at the safe mode page and its doing the same thing which
is restarting over and over and wont go past the safe mode page

I'm sorry Michael but its the only cd I have to work with and I've already
tried the nondestructive way and thats how I got where I was. It never asks
me about a administrator password or anything. Thanks so much for your help
and I'll send you some aspirin for the pain in your hiney (ME) LOL! I will
post back when it completes.
Thanks again!

WHOA. You are doing a destructive system restore? What happened to my
instructions? You did not need to do a system restore, and a destructive
one at that. ;-) Well that will probably fix the problem, but you have
lost all your personal data. Let is finish now. Post back when it is
complete.

The Home and Professional version does not matter. Follow my instruction
in the post, and you will be up and running in no time. :-)

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.

Do you have a Windows XP CD available? If so post back and we can
troubleshoot using the Recovery Console. It sounds like your boot volume
is unmounted. It is an easy fix if this is the case.

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?
