my computer running win xp wont load windows into either safe or normal modes!?

Question

Help! My 1 year old computer running win xp wont load windows into either safe or normal modes.?
It just so happened to occur the same week the warranty ran out that my desktop pc wont load windows.

What Happens:
- once turned on the computer will load up with a black screen and provide the options such as:
to load into safe mode
load safe mode with commands
load windows normally
etc

Not one of these options succesfully load windows.
Instead the windows screen will show with a bar moving and then it will go back to the same screen as if the computer has just been turned on again.

I will be taking it to a tech but thought id ask if anyone knows why this occurs and is there a chance to save the precious data on the hard drive?

thanks.

XP is crashed, improper use, websites visited with a lot of spywares or viruses, or black-out are the main causes. It's not the end of the world. Go to a tech and he/she will find a partition where your XP is in your hard drive, basically it will be re-installed from it as original manufacturing. Don't forget to mention about your files, they can be saved into an external dispositive or maybe the option Do Not Format will be used for the tech.

It's easier than you can think but you better let a Pro do the job It's my recommendation.

That sort of things happen when the OS is unable to successfully complete its boot sequence. You may have a troubled MBR (master Boot Record) or a corrupted file system. This is common with drives with the NTFS file system.



If you have your XP installation CD, set your pc to boot with the CD drive (in the BIOS option).



Once the screen which asks what you wish to do (press F8, press R) appears, select Repair Existing windows installation.



when the Command prompt appears (prompt looks something like D:\>) type CHKDSK (your boot drive) /r



Example: chkdsk c: /r (this will check drive c and automatically repairs errors if it finds any)

Answer 4

I suggest you recover your data first and this is going to cost you as data recovery is not cheap.



From the sound of it, you may be experiencing bad MFT(master file table). Cases like this usually caused by bad sectors found in the sectors where MFT sits or worst, it has been infected by viruses...



If you are not a technical person, strongly suggest you recover your data first, if you think data is utmost important to you, then proceed with fixing the computer.



good luck to you...
