Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / June 2006booting problem with xp home edition
my system won't boot past the blue xp page. I have tried to start in safe mode and it will get to safe mode with the page that has safe mode on the corners and it still will not boot past the blue xp page. can someone please give me a clue? the problem is on a dell laptop if this will make a difference. thanks > my system won't boot past the blue xp page. Try a repair. Boot off of a clean Windows XP cd ( your bios has to be set to boot from cd rom 1st ) choose Install ( Not > To Repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R ) at the first prompt. It will then search for a previous copy of Windows. When it finds your copy, it will stop at the next prompt and ask if you want to do a repair. Hit R at this screen. If it does'nt mention a repair > DO NOT continue. It will then copy a lot of files and appear to be doing a reinstall ( But its not. All your programs and data are safe, all you will lose, are your Windows updates ) |
