Won't boot after "chkdsk /f"
I wanted to defragment my hard drive the other day, but Windows said that I
had to run "chkdsk /f". So, it ran when the computer restarted and it completed the process. But, after running this, I've been thrown into an endless restarting loop. When I turn on my computer, it starts up and gets past the Windows XP loading screen. But then, it flashes a blue error screen very briefly. The error screen is only up for a second, so I can't provide any of what it says. After the error screen, the computer restarts and goes back to the beginning of the process. Can anyone provide me with some help on this issue? Thanks in advance. |

Won't boot after "chkdsk /f"
Your issue is probably due to an unmountable boot volume. I have witness
this all the time. You need your Windows XP CD or have the ability to press F8 to enter the Recovery Console. Once in the recovery console you will perform the following task listed below: You can boot to the XP CD and when you see the Welcome to setup press the letter R You will get a dos prompt. If prompted for the Administrator password, press enter. Then type "chkdsk /p" without the quotes and press enter When that is done type "fixboot" without quotes and press enter "Y" and enter at the prompt Then type "exit" without quotes and press enter The system will now reboot into Windows -- Michael D.

You need to post a copy of the error report. Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. -- Hope this helps.

Okay, I disabled automatic restart on system failure. This is the
information I got out of it: STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x812647A0, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000) "Gerry Cornell" wrote: Josh You need to post a copy of the error report.
