This is also Posted in your other post on the same problem
(assuming you are the same "Carol" that is!)
Hi,
Some suggestions:
1- In SETUP Try Changing the Boot order to start from the
Harddrive first.
2- http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310396
"Windows XP Logon Screen Does Not Appear & the Computer
Continuously Restarts"
3- Go to: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307545
"How to Recover from a Corrupted Registry That Prevents
Windows XP from Starting
Look on this page for more links:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbstrtup.php
"KNOWLEDGE BASE LINKS STARTUP & BOOT LOG"
If none of those suggestions look like they will work try
this:
++++++++
Go to Bootdisk.com
On the: "BootDisks - PC Support - Essential Utilities" page
Click on the Link for: "WINDOWS AND DOS BOOT DISKS"
On the: "Boot Disks" page; in the "Windows XP Bootdisk
Sets" section:
Click the Link for: "WHATEVER VERSION OF XP YOU HAVE"
That'll take you where you can download (from M$) a file
so you can make a boot disk set that will allow you to
access the CD-ROM drive and reinstall XP.
++++++++
