Problem With booting XP

Post by sanic »

My XP won't boot I've tried last know goog config. I've tried safe boot. On normal boot it gets to screen where it is loading then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. I was just wondering is there any floppy's that I can reboot XP from. Thanks

Put in your XP disk and boot from the cd and choose the repair option or you can try and reinstall Xp over top itself. :)

Use the system restore from the command line.

Tried to boot in safe mode command prot. only didn't work so I tried to boot in safe mode and this is the message I get. Windows could start because the following file is missing or corrupt.<windows root>\system32\hal.dll. You I have had a problem a while ago.Thanks for the quick response.
