| 1 Allwyn, on Jun 15, 2008 6:41:32 pm BSTHi,
Let us try to repair windows.
Insert your Windows XP CD and restart the computer.
The Windows Installation wizard will appear.
Carefully proceed, till you find an option to "Repair...."
Click on Repair. Let it complete. This should fix our issue.
Note : IF CD is not detected automatically, you have to re-set BIOS configuration.
Press Del or F10 (depends) when the system starts and then set the Boot Priority.
Here make sure, CD drive is before Harddrive.
All the best.
Allwyn | 3 prashant, on Jul 29, 2008 12:25:48 pm BSTHi,
I am facing something similar. but atleast I am getting my desktop seen , after that if I click on either explorer, Iexplorer or any other program from the program menu it reboots.
It says an error message with blue color screen stating that probably due to recently installed new hardware or software is causing this problem. But I have not installed any software or hardware as such.
What I tried so far -
1. System restore in the safe mode. - restore successeded but result is the same
2. Virus scan - No result
My Dell Laptops details -
1. Windows Xp Home Edition with SP2
2. Intel core duo
I dont have orginal CD of Win XP, unfortunately due to added cost I have not opt to buy one.
Could you suggest me how to repair the Win XP without having CD ?
This looks like Os problem only, because if it has to something with hardware malfunctioning then in my other partition I have Windows Vista Home Basic also that works fine.
Thanks & Regards
Prashant | 11 computing, on Oct 7, 2008 9:49:26 pm BSTHey, I'm Edwin. Well, I have the same problem or at least similar. I ordered the Windows XP Home Edition disk from HP. I just had to pay with credit card $23.00 dollars including shipping which isn't that bad. Anyway, they asked me for my Serial Number and Product Number which comes on the back of my PC Tower. I got their number calling 411 and calling also the guys from microsoft. You should check if your Task Manager window still works by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE and from there you should click New Task in File and run your Programs from there. I recommend you to create a shortcut icon of the System Restore and leave it on your desktop so if something is malfunctioning or running weird, you could do a System Restore as I just told you, using the Task Manager window and opening the Restore Icon. If you don't know how to create shortcut copies, well. Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then right click where it says System Restore and click on Send to Desktop.
My problem is that now I don't get any response using the Alt Ctrl Delete keys combination on the desktop. I can only see the background pic of the desktop and no files are there at all. I right click and left-click the mouse but nothing shows. Now, my files are gone and I can't do the System Restore neither the System Recovery so I also need help.
If you do a System Recovery you will lose all the data (songs, files, videos and pictures) You may still be able to do a System Restore or System Recovery tho, when you turn on your computer and it is about to start, hit as many times F8. Then from there go to Windows XP System Recovery on Safe Mode. You may be able to bring your computer back to normal from there as when you first bought it without having to buy a Windows XP Home Edition disk yet. Your computer may also have come with a program that can make a Windows XP Home Edition disk. You just have to buy the 2 DVD disk and find out how to make a copy from your own computer. Someone in here may no. E-mail me if I find out later, I'll let you know, ok.

| 17 Dave, on Oct 26, 2008 4:26:17 pm GMTI had same issue when after much trial and error that it was a defective ram stick causing my issue. I even put it in a different machine to confirm and it did the same thing. Turn off your machine and try installing the ram one stick at a time to see if it will boot properly with only one stick in. Repeat until you have tried all the sticks individually. It may give you a message saying the boot config. has changed. Tell it to continue. Hope this helps. Dave |
| 27 hippo, on Nov 23, 2008 4:59:33 am GMTU just enter cmos setup menu, and just configur urs setting to default value.
restart computer after saving the cmos setting.
press f8 and start computer in safe mode and remove services.exe from start up list for that u just open run command and type msconfig..
next u can try by running system scanner.
for that u just open run command.
type
sfc \scannow but be sure that u must have an win xp cd in yours cd rom.]
best of luck. | 30 Dharm, on Nov 26, 2008 5:44:17 am GMTHi friend

| 20 RECGrl, on Oct 29, 2008 2:51:11 am GMTSo I also have a corrupted Windows, however, I cannot find my Windows XP disc anywhere. My friend was going to use his, but he lost it as well. Is there a way I can get a new one, or would it be better if I bought a new computer? (its 4 years old) If I do need to buy one, how can I get all of my important files and pics off my computer? Thanks!
RECGrl | 56 Edwin, on Feb 2, 2009 3:09:22 pm GMTHi, hey... I had this same problem before & didn't wanna lose my info (data). Well, if u buy a CD to recover your computer back to normal... that will save u money, so u won't buy a new computer, but that's actually going to delete all your data if u run that way of System Recovery. One of my cousins is a technician and he extracted all my music & files using 2 computers, but not sure how he connected both and transfered the data, tho. Depending on how much information u wanna save from your computer, it's gonna be the time that it will take to transfer as well. It's like burning a CD but obviously with all u got. Also try to run the System Restore to an earlier time. If u can do that, it will actually bring your computer back to the status u had before.
Oh, another good thing u can do, if ur computer is having errors or not letting u do stuff as if it was blocked by viruses, u should scan your whole computer using free anti-virus softwares. That brought my computer back to normal in many ways and now I'm still using it and it's kinda protected. Another thing which went bad for me. I bought an "anti-virus program" from the internet. I paid with a credit card and well, believe it or not, it had some Trojan Viruses. Now, I'm still claiming that money back. The software name is Inteli Smart. Don't ever buy that shit.
Google & install for free, CCleaner, Avast! Antivirus, (Spybot - Search & Destroy), Smart Virus Remover. Well, I'm still using those and they are working fine. Eventho, I still have some little issues, I'm still using this to protect my computer from stup viruses haters create. Usually pop-ups are the ones I believe that come with viruses too. All those cookies are placed in your computer and they re-open now and then. Some cookies are malicious. There's many websites with lots of viruses nowadays so be careful what u visit. I believe I started getting Trojan Viruses from Game Websites as well so imagine. Well, hope this helps a bit. |
| 109 affdbdfg, on Oct 31, 2009 12:52:31 am GMTHi.
Try looking for your XP disk again, I just spent 2 hours looking for mine, and it was the first disk I had checked.
The problem is that it was not printed WINDOWS XP.
It was printed "xxxxxxxx Product Recovery CD Rom".
And xxxxxxxx is not the name of my PC Manufacturer !! it is the manufacturer of my display!! |

STOP: c000021a Unknown Hard Error
Unknown Hard Error
my computer is stuck in a reboot loop. i have an intel pentium 4 desktop computer. it is windows xp professional edition. the problem happened after i installed the windows service package 1 (i know, im a little behind). it seemed to install the update fine but after i restarted my computer i couldnt seem to get to my desktop. the computer manages to get to the light blue windows xp loading screen but instead of entering my desktop the computer reboots and the whole process starts over again. after reading other forums, i tried the F8 method but couldnt seem to make it work. last known configuration and safe mode dont seem to work but i may have not done them correctly; im no computer whiz. but after pressing the "disable automatic restart on system failure" option, i got this error message on the "blue screen of death" (this happened after the light blue xp loading screen instead of it restarting like it usually does):
STOP: c000021a Unknown Hard Error
Unknown Hard Error

hope you can help thanks | 62 dan, on Feb 9, 2009 1:00:48 am GMTLori
To fix your problem you must reboot your comp,holding down the F8 key on keyboard until your system menu appears.Then if you look at the very top of the box you will see in the choices one called "BOOT".To get to that you must use your LEFT\RIGHT keys on your keyboard. When you are on the "boot" heading press enter bar,
this will put you in the boot menu.Then you can use your UP\Down keys to go to your CD,and hit either +\- key to move the cd player up to the top of the "BOOT ORDER". Once you have done that you must look to the right side of the menu box and do what it says to save this change you have made. After that is saved ,open your cd player put in your win XP disc ,close your CD tray SHUT OFF YOUR COMP and RESTART> YOU will then be loading Your win xp to either try repair first, or reinstall. HOPE this helps you.
