Solve : Can't start windows XP?

1.	Solve : Can't start windows XP?
Answer» I recently ran a system restore, part of the process involved the computer restarting. When the computer rebooted however I got a BLACK screen with options: Start in Safe Mode, Run last known good configuration, or start windows normally, non of which get windows to actually run. I also TRIED using the f8 trick right after choosing to start windows normally and none of the options on that page worked either. Ive done some searching and it was recommended that I use a Windows XP (my OS) cd in order to run a restore or something. Unfortunately I don't have one, but I do have another CPU with XP on it. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to somehow use the XP files on the working Cpu to restore my broken one, or if there were any other solutions.

Please note, you haven't explained what happens when you SELECT options from either the Safe Mode or Windows Advanced Options menu (other than it doesn't get Windows to run). Generally, a startup issue either "hangs" or displays a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a "STOP Code". The stop code with its parameters and sometimes a short error string or file name is the explanation as to why it is unable to start. Sometimes the BSOD is not seen because the system automatically restarts before you have an opportunity to see and/or read it. From the Windows Advanced Options menu accessed via during system startup, you should select the "Disable automatic restart on system failure" option in order to stop on the BSOD display.
