XP Problem - Won't Startup

fixed

when you get this thing working, let us know what the problem was
\just curious to know

Do it pussy!

Usually it will keep most of the old settings, so if it’s a corrupt file it could(might, possibly) work. If not then you’ve wasted 1 hour of your short life away.

:smiley: , DO IT!

I ran CHKDSK on both drives last night, found and fixed 1 or more errors, no fix though. Tonight I’ll try windows repair, then fresh install. No cables or anything were loose upon inspection.

Move it back to where ever you got it from…It misses its home.

FIX MBR!

MBR!?!?!

Master Boot Record

That’s what I fingered, how would one go about fixing it?

fdisk /mbr
or
recovery console in XP use the fixmbr command.

if its half way loading into windows, its not the MBR…

its a windows problem. Did the windows repair work?

didn’t try it yet, ill report back tomorrow, or tonight if I get it working

All better, clean baldy, PM me your paypal address for a “thank you” :wink:

:tup|:

That’s because he doesn’t live here anymore… Duh!
