continual restart

Every time I boot up, the system doesnt get to the sign on screen. Instead,
it simply begins to reboot yet again(!). I tried booting up in Safe mode
even, after selecting it at the menu, but, rather than coming up in safe
mode - it STILL goes back into reboot!

Anyone have any idea what might cause / remedy this mess ? Thanks, Ike

Hi

Try 'Last Known Good Configuration' - same screen as Safe Mode. If that
doesn't remedy the problem, you'll have to look towards a 'Repair' install
of XP. The following article by Michael Stevens will help you - dependent
on the type of XP CD you have:

"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

Had the same problem recently. The only way I could get past the "F8" screen
was to boot from CD and reload Windows. All the logins, drivers, programs
etc stayed. Still can't think what caused it.
