Windows XP won't boot
Could anybody help me please. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop which I
was trying to do a clean up of the C drive. The laptop went to reboot itself and now just gives me the option of either selecting F2 or F12 and then just keeps rebooting over and over again. It doesn't even boot in safe mode in which I could access the MS DOS windows to try fix the problem. Could somebody please help me! |

Windows XP won't boot
I'll be frank: Time for you to show your computer to a professional.
No one has any idea what you did to your computer or what "clean up of the C drive" means. And there is no such thing as "MS DOS windows." The last version of Windows built on DOS was Windows ME. Have the computer professionally repaired before you get yourself into more trouble. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Frustrated Sandee wrote: Could anybody help me please.

Hi, I faced same scenario not long a go, try to press F12 and F8 together to get to the Boot up menu, from there select the internal Hard drive and see if you can boot up. If you can then try to restore your system and see if that will help gain consistency of the Boot up and the operating system. I think you may deleted a file belong to the BIOS! Failing the above try Last Good known Config that worked or failing that try to repair the operating system or as Leo mentioned it is time for a Local pro to look at it or it is time for a new machine for a new year!!!

You don;t say what Recovery disks you have. Mine came with a DVD ram Disk. The options that you mention F2 or f12 give you the BIOS, or F12 another way to load from the Ram Disk . I was wondering if your's would be the same. What happens is choosing the Ram Disk ,it unpacks the data to the hard drive, similar to Zip or Crypted Files deejaydee |
