Hi
Restating the PC displays the "Start Up Recovery Menu" with message "Windows
did not start succesfully ..." and 5 options are displayed:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Network
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Know Configuration
Start Windows normally
Tried each of the above options and PC reboot and every time displays the
Start up Recovery Menu described above. So it is looping.
I can re-boot from a bootable disk, so can access the hard disk but not sure
what's next.
Any ideas how to break the loop?
Thanks
NB - Previous to the above problem, I had a request to Activate Windows XP
Home but this was activated sometime ago. Activation failed with message
"Unable to establish a connection with activation server ..." After many
(lots) attempts to connect via moderm and ISDN gave up & switched PC off,
following morning got into the loop described above.
