Solve : XP BSOD Won't Boot at all.? |
|
Answer» Okay, I was downloading Microsoft's Service Pack 3(2 Days ago) and it stopped working after about an hour(I was doing other things at the time) and I watched it for about 10 minutes wondering why it wasn't doing anything, so I tried to close the application and it would not respond, so, seeing that I have a laptop, I took the power out of the computer since nothing was responding and LEFT the computer alone for awhile. Then, a couple of hours later, I decided to go on the computer. Everything seemed NORMAL but, after the Windows XP screen with the blue bars, the screen turned black with everything but a cursor. The BSOD happens right after my cursor starts spazzing out. I've tried everything I could do to get past it. Safe Mode and all of the F8 things in the menu do not work at all. They get the same result. Blue Screen of Death. I'm looking around my house right now for this disc that was supposedly included with my laptop but I can't seem to find one. This isn't urgent seeing I'm about to go out but, please does anyone know the solution to this? Also, the BSOD says C00000021A. I hope that helps also. Thanks to everyone in advance.It wasn't a very wise idea to interrupt the installation process of Service Pack 3. Doing this may (and probably did) corrupt some of your boot files.

Or am I litterally screwed? Because I can't find this disc, nor do I even remember a disc coming with the laptop itself. Also, the last Service Pack didn't take an hour so that's what was the ODD part about it. That's mainly the reason I cancelled it off. I'd contact your computer manufacturer for recovery software...Quote from: Saviour on October 19, 2008, 04:41:05 PM I'd contact your computer manufacturer for recovery software...Okay, I was thinking about getting it on Ebay put that sounds better(Tbh I didn't think they sold it ) I'll come back to this if it doesn't work. Just to check, how would I download this software onto my computer. I know it has to come from a disc seeing that it's the only slot but, since it won't boot should I just use F12(Which is the boot menu) and press CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive? Also, is that assured to work?Quote from: Raikiri999 on October 19, 2008, 04:55:19 PM Quote from: Saviour on October 19, 2008, 04:41:05 PMHey I know this is double posting but, I was just wondering, since I've found the discs that came with my laptop, and I've tried Service Pack 2(Which seems is the most reasonable one to work) via the boot menu. It hasn't worked, is there any other way to boot the CD-ROM and MAKE the computer work? Or am I just doing something wrong?I'd contact your computer manufacturer for recovery software...Okay, I was thinking about getting it on Ebay put that sounds better(Tbh I didn't think they sold it ) I'll come back to this if it doesn't work.

Edit: It seems that I think I hit Internal HDD by accident. I'm trying the CD-ROM now. It looks like it might work. |
