Startup Hanging

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

My windows XP machine hangs at startup. I get beyond the windows XP logo
splash screen, but it hangs before I get to the user accounts screen. I've
tried booting my machine via the CD, but I don't want to overwrite my
previous setup. I would like to be able to boot up and find out what the
problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Yo can try Windows XP PE or Bart PE, its a free download. Basically its
Windows XP on a cd, you can boot from the cd, and access all you data. this
is a good toll if you cannot boot, you can then boot from the cd and repair
your oringal windows xp install.

try it out.

search the net for windows pe or bart pe
