It's a long story, but I can't boot into XP Pro (sp2) in either normal
or safe mode. The system keeps flashing a blue screen for a split
second and then reboots. It happens too fast to see what file's causing
the problem and the option on the F8 screen to "disable the
auto-restart on error" feature disappeared all of a sudden. I've run
chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console several times, but to no avail. I'm
hoping there is a way to run SFC /scannow from the XP Setup CD. If this
is possible, can someone tell me how?
Thank you in advance.
