    Do you know what the exact error message is?

    Can you start in Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration? (repeatedly tap F8 as it's booting for menu)

    no it wont let the computer boot into safe mode or last good config.at the end of the error message it says something about a problem with the i/o and it gives the memory path. sorry but thats all the info i have.

    Apart from doing a repair, we would need to know the exact error message.

    If you can write it down and post back someone may be able to help.

    A repair may work, but should really be a last resort.

    Try to run Chkdsk from the Recovery Console.

    Set your Bios to boot from CD, then place the XP CD in your drive and reboot.

    1.Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted.

    2. When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation that you must access from the Recovery Console.

    4. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

    5. At the command prompt, type Chkdsk /r then press Enter.

    Do as Insomniac says.

    Me personally, believes that what BlackViper says to do, may not be the WISE thing to do.

    I'll say no more, since MANY ...

    I agree in part with that view, however, I think the problem isn't so much the information, but that people don't read the disclaimers or follow the advice.

    You should only ever change one service at a time, then leave it for a while and if everything is OK change another and so on, rather than do them all in one go.

    Also, BlackViper specifically states that it is only a guide and may not work on every system.
