[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cannot start puter

Posted: 12/18/2005 10:35:48 AM EDT

Ok .I may have deleted something I should not have!!!

Running XP with service pack 2

Starts up and I get the blue dell screen.....just loops through this and stops.

Put in my XP [full]....try to boot from CD

It will not let me accept Lisence........by hitting F8....then says cannot read from c:\

Any ideas that will help?...............I was thinking about changing my boot driver to mr CDR drive and maybe it can reinstall XP through that?

I gotta stop tinkering with the fucking thing

Got it started..finally got XP to repair itself.now thinking of doing a reformat to solve some issues.............Gonna try a clean install and see what that does first..........I may be forced to build a new puter if Murphy is around!!!!

Yes, back up all your important files/docs (this you should do routinely anyway) and get a fresh install of XP on your PC. I never trust the repair option in windows, but that is just my opinion.
