Yesterday my computer started acting up on me. When it starts to boot Windows XP i get a "we apologise for the inconvenience but Windows did not start successfully...." It give me 5 options to boot XP -
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Know Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
and
Start Windows Normally.
And none of these options work, they all take a long time but keep the machine going in circles ie. it shuts down and restarts giving me the same problem. Interesting fact is that on the last two options (last known good config and start normally just before the machine give up i see for about a second the "normal" windows start up screen with blue bar running across.
I have tried the Product Recovery CD that came with my machine. the recovery console was useless.
i have also tried to reinstall windows from the CD however it found a problem with the partitioning and to reinstall i would have to loose all the data on the machine

I don't give a shit about any files or anything of the sort. I just the fastest way to get my computer working again, even if it involves reinstalling windows from the CD [which I have but do not know hoq to do.]
