Whats Going On

Dylanj123 · 05-08-2006, 09:54 AM

New I got home from school today to be greeted by my dad asking me to fix the computer. The screen that came up said the Windows wasnt shut down properlly. That was all good and well and I pressed 'Start Windows XP as normal' and the computer froze. I reset the computer and tried again. Same result. I then kept trying trying different options but each time the same result. Each time I press enter the countdown clock freezes and the computer does nothing. If I leave it to just keep counting downit freezes at 0. Please my dad needs his emails.
Thanks in advance.

Ps. I cant think of any changes to the computer in the last few days.

In safe mode it gets comes up with 9 lines of text the first being
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\system 32\ntoskrnl.exe
and the last being
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\FONTS\ vgaoem.fon
but then freezes again.
Anyway know what this means?

Well, when I start up in Safe Mode I get a boatload of lines that come up! Can you get to Last Known Good Configuration?

If you have the windows disk you can try a repair install which will keep your data but reload windows back onto your computer, you could also try a boot disk or the recovery console, if you google for some some commands you can maybe rebuild you boot cfg which is probably the problem.
