  You can configure your computer Windows XP does not start on startup, so you can see the error code when it is blue screening.

  Disabling the option of automatic reboot in Windows XP, go to control panel in Windows XP in a left click on start, followed by settings and then choose Control Panel.

  1. In the Control Panel window, open System.

     In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.

  2. Locate the Startup and recovery area, and click on the settings button.

  3. In the Startup and recovery window, find and uncheck the checkbox next to automatically restart.

  4. Click OK in the Startup and recovery window.

  5. Click OK in the System Properties window.

  6. Now when a problem causes a BSOD or other errors that crash the system, your computer will automatically restart. You will need to perform a manual restart.

• Windows XP Home Edition does not load in any mode after reboot to uninstall Norton

  I wanted to get rid of Norton anti-virus, then, I have downloaded and run the Norton Uninstaller. After what seemed an eternity he finished and asked me to restart the computer to complete the uninstalation. I clicked the botton "Restart now" and after the screen, which shows the bios is nothing. No loading screen, no beeps or anything else, just black. In addition, it does the same thing in all modes.

  I removed the HDD and an IDE to USB for connecting to my mobile backup (Win7 Ultimate) and performed a virus with TrendMicro Titanium antivirus scan + and scan with malewarebytes paid version maleware. No virus or maleware found. So, I ran a check/repair through backup with no found error disc.

  I do not have a XP or 7 CD repair/install, nor am I money right now. I really need to get going again.

  Infected computer:

  Compaq Presario M2000

  Windows XP Home Edition SP3

  Processor Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.5 GHz

  1 GB of RAM

  Intel Extreme Graphics 2

  Dell Inspiron 1501

  Windows 7 Ultimate Edition SP2

  AMD Turion 64 MK - 36 2.0 GHz

  Looks like you somehow corrupted the bootloader.

  If I'm not mistaken, you can technically download disc for Microsoft Windows XP SP3 OEM HOME legally, as long as you use your current license.

  You can also communicate with Compaq and request a repair disk.

• Not to install Windows XP Home Edition Serv Pak 2 in repair mode

  When it comes to the i386 files it says that it cannot find them. I have a new CD for reinstalling Dell for Inspiron 1501 laptop. No scratches or stains-never been used. I'm trying to use the Setup in repair mode to recover data if all goes well, then I might have to slate. He continues to stop 13 minutes from the end of the installation. I have run all diagnostics PSA Dell - all past. I noticed several other online references not being able to find the file.

  Suggestions?

  Siverson,
  I've seen something like this before.  What you can try is to do a parallel install.  Start installing, it'll be a new facility, but change the location of the installation of C:\Windows to something like c:\WinXP.  This will put XP in a different directory.  Now your programs do not work but they will be there as well as all your data.  Once you have backed up your data, the time for a FRESH INSTALLATION (mmmm feel the clean windows...)  : P

  Just my suggestion, have fun. QQ learn manage!

• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  Vernon

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

• problems with Windows xp home edition

  Hello everyone. I have this sony vaio PCV-RS310 which has been ravaged by some kind of malware... well I know this is an old machine all standards but I like it a lot and it had Windows XP Home Edition installed (my favorite OS) and I tried to revive, but recently he lost power while I was trying to do a repair of a few boot floppies that I did from the microsoft Web site. When that power is is relit, I had more access to the usual screen that I had at the start. I do not see when I turn it on is the logo of sony for a few seconds, followed by:

  And then "press any key to restart", and when I do the same process again. I tried to do a restore of the configuration of system with the recovery discs that came with it but all it shows is a blue screen and then the mouse pointer appears and occasionally I get a stop error message, but usually the blue screen with the mouse pointer remains on during about 10 minutes and then it restarts, showing the screens above and restarts again everywhere : the recovery process. Every thing in there seems to work except for one of the RAM sticks, which I ordered it and the hard drive only shows half of the space. When I turn it on, I get a short beep... that tellls me the system is ok... I think so. I have no access to the c: and d: drives and when I use the boot-floppies to access the recovery console, I get the old access denied even if I can't see the disks listed above. Are there other options at my disposal? I have not installation of xp disc is because the OS is preinstalled. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  Looks like it's maybe a mess with the malware, recovery interruption attempted with power and all this tent.

  If your system has a CD/DVD drive, I create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and once in the Recovery Console, see if you can run a chkdsk /r on your HARD drive, as power cuts can sometimes damage the NT (NTFS) file system.

  Here's how:

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD), it would be useful to know what was said so we don't have to guess what you are seeing.

  The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:
