Solve : My Windsows XP Won't start? |
|
Answer» Everything I turn on my computer it starts in the black screen where I have the options to start it: with Safe mode, last known config, and normally Do you have any disks? Recovery CD, Windows CD? I'm confused here. The first post was edited to say they don't have a DISC, but then they said they used a disc. I'm a bit lost here, is there a CD or not?Update: I used a Windows XP Home Edition SP2 CD-Rom, made the 6 Floppies and was able to go to the recovery console, but from there I have no clue how to work the command prompt looking thing Alternatively I could choose to install the Windows XP onto my computer but for some reason my computer never ever recognizes my CD and tells me to insert the CD...again Basically I'm screwed Quote from: quaxo on June 16, 2009, 08:23:46 PM I'm confused here. The first post was edited to say they don't have a disc, but then they said they used a disc. I'm a bit lost here, is there a CD or not? Uh, I went on to microsoft to download the installation cd so I guess I now have a copy of windows xp home edition sp2 Quote I went on to microsoft to download the installation cdDid you say torrent? Micro$oft doesn't provide Windows downloads.well no, I went specifically on the microsoft site and found the windows xp setup disk and downloaded it You mean the 6 set of floppies for the Recovery Console ? ?Either that the download for the bootable floppy for computers that can't BOOT from a CD. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e8fe6868-6e4f-471c-b455-bd5afee126d8 But there is no download for the actual Windows XP CD.Vivace there are 2 commands you can try to fix this with... Load the 6 set of floppies which will load the RC and leave you at a command prompt... At the prompt type in fixboot and hit Enter... Remove any floppies and CD's and re-boot... If this doesn't work repeat the above except this time type in fixmbr and hit Enter... Best of Luck. |
