Windows XP Fails to Load
Hi, Everyone,
How are you? I have been running Windows XP, Service Pack 2 on my computer for several years now. Last night, my computer froze for the first time in over half a year, so I restarted it and nothing seemed to be wrong. After about 15 minutes of using it, it froze once again. After restarting it the second time, however, it showed me the screen that says I could choose to restart in the "Last Known Good Configuration," in "Safe Mode, or to "Start Windows Normally." If I choose the non-Safe Mode options, it would start to load Windows (with the Windows XP screen and the blue bar running under it), and then restart itself when the blue bar runs for the third time. For the Safe Mode options, it would load partway and then restart again. Can I do something to fix this? Is this a hard drive problem? I tried unplugging everything except for my monitor and hard drive, but the problem was still there. Please help! I am using a library computer to type this and will wait until I can find a resolution, then go home and try it. Thank you in advance! |

Go into the Recovery Console, type "chkdsk /r" (without the quotes), press the Enter key. When the scan completes (it can take quite a while and may appear to start over one or more times, be patient), type "exit" (without the quotes), press the Enter key. Hopefully check disk was able to find and repair whatever the errors were and it'll boot on into Windows.
How you get into the Recovery Console depends on whether you have an XP CD or a recovery/restore CD from the computer's manufacturer or the recovery/restore feature is built into the hard drive. |

Thank you so much! That worked! I can't thank you enough, Miz. Now I can go back to my studying for my midterms and doing my homework (I'm usually not this happy about having to study).
