Re: RePst of Windows boot prob

Loretta

Will it boot if you disconnect all peripherals except mouse, keyboard
and monitor.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing
the F8 key during StartUp and select option - Disable automatic
restart on system failure.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Have you tried rebooting with your Windows XP CD in your CD
drive.

The Windows XP Home boots for a while and just as it should be going
to the
welcome or desktop it stops hard drive activity and the screen stays
bland.

Dell Inspiron notebook, Will not load to recovery console. It gets
to
the point that it asks which OS to you want. I type 1, enter. There
is
hard drive activity and then it stops. Will not do an install new
or
repair because it will not get to the second instal screen. It
stops
when looking for installed windows. Will not boot in safe or normal
mode. Checked the hard drive in another computer. It is very
readable.
Had some low risk adware but no viruses. Still won't boot or
repair. I
am now running a defrag. What else can I do? Thank you.
