RE: Can't boot into Wndows XP

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

This is going to be a bit tricky. So follow the steps carefully.

1) Download autoruns from sysinternals.com
2) Run Autoruns in safe mode and then from the menu options, hide all
microsoft entries. Restart Autoruns.
3) From each tab, disable anything that has the manufacturer column empty.
Caution: BE extra careful while doing this step in drivers tab else you may
render your system unbootable
4) Close autoruns
5) From start>>run type msconfig
6) Go to services tab. Check "hide all microsoft entries". Disable all non
microsoft services except any Antivirus or critical services you are sure are
ligitimate
7) Disable all items from startup tab except any ligitimate entries you are
100% sure off.
8) Reboot the system and try normal bootup again. As soon as you are able to
do a normal startup, do a full system scan with

9) Download stinger from http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and do a full
system scan

Hi I can't boot into Windows XP.

When I try to boot into windows, I get the following blue screen.

regrun partizan - bootwatch antirootkit. greatis software (c) 2007-2008.

at this point the computer just stops.

I think, I might have a virus but not sure.

I can boot into safe mode but I don't know how to fix it in safe mode.

I hope someone can help!
