Hello,
I've got a problem booting Windows XP in safe mode though it works wll
in normal mode.
I press on f8 at the begining, I do get the menu where I chose the
option "safe mode" and then it seems to boot up but after a few seconds
all I get is a black screnn and a blinking cursor on the top left (this
lasts for more then 15 mins when I get fed up and try again)
What can I do? Thanks in advance...

Enable a Boot Log: Press F8 on restart, to choose the bootlog option. Look in the %windir% for NTBTLOG.TXT and some hint of what is
failing. (Some device file probably.)
