U can transfer your data to flash drive so they don't get erased.

And than u didn't say what was the problem at all.

Explain what u doing and what is happening + post link to your model.

OK, can u go to safe mode? Keep pressing F8 button when u start the windows again and select option with networking.

 

[britt12]

Than what do i do

 

[nikorr]

Than what do i do

If u can get there u can save your data and run some diagnostics.

 

[britt12]

Alrighty how do i run those?

 

[nikorr]

Can u get in?

 

[nikorr]

Post link to your model.

OK, can u get in the safe mode? Don't do anything yet if u can get there.

 

[britt12]

Yeah

 

[britt12]

Well when i press entr on safe mode! All this crazy scrolling stuff pops up and thqn it starts rebooting agqin

 

[nikorr]

Do u see this?

When you see the message Please select the operating system to start or hear the single beep, press [F8] to display the Windows Advanced Options menu. Select the Last Known Good Configuration item from the menu and press [Enter].

Keep in mind that you get only one shot with the Last KnownGood Configuration feature. In other words, if it fails to revive your WindowsXP on the first attempt, the backup copy is also corrupt.

 

[nikorr]

But, don't u want to save the files first?

 

[britt12]

Oh okay! Well that didnt work either
