Re: Automatic restart on system failure not working

What have you done to resolve the problem causing the machine to
automatically restart. Why not post a complete copy of the Stop Error
Report

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply, The Omen.

Unfortunately XP Smoker Pro trial version did not help with this
cause. I tested it using the CrashOnCtrlScroll trick, Windows went
into blue screen but did not automatically restart.

Seeing as there is an option to disable autoreboot in start up menu
(F8), this made me think that maybe the fact that Windows is
installed on different hard drive than where the boot loader is has
something to do with this issue.

The first hard drive which used to have Windows XP Home version is
used to boot up, but it start the Windows XP Pro from the second hard
drive. This is because when I installed XP Pro on the second hard
drive, it did not make itself bootable but only edited the boot list
of the first hard drive adding itself to the boot menu.

If I try to boot from the 2nd hard drive directly, I get message
saying NTLDR is missing. If there is a way I could add the boot
informaton to this hard drive too, I could try booting directly from
this and see if it has any difference. I suppose Recovery Console
could have something that might get this done, but I am not sure of
the commands.

For me it appears that all the settings are correct but Windows
will stop at the system failure, not restart like it should do.

I had a similar problem. Used XP Smoker Pro. You unfortunately have
to purchase it but it was worth it. You can try it with the trial
version and see if it works.
