Acronis Rescue Media
Yesterday I made a change in the XP registry,(changed the drive letter)backed it up before the change.Rebooted the computer,but I wasn't able to log in.Windows will advance up tp a point and stop right before the log on screen.
I used the "Acronis BootableRescue Media"which was made a few hours earlier.Same thing no help at all. I couldn't log into safe mode either.Any ideas?.BTW,I did a fresh installation,

If your computer has a floppy drive boot the machine with a Windows 9x startup diskette and issue the FDISK /MBR. If the machine doesn't have a floppy drive you need to remotely access the registry and undo the drive letter changes that you made earlier, read he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249321 Unable to log on if the boot partition drive letter has changed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223188/ How to restore the system/boot drive letter in Windows http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm John
