I have been having problems with my other computer. So I got on another Forum and asked for help but I can’t for the life of me find that same message.
What started all of this?
Chkdsk and Defrag is not working. Gee, that sounds so trivial now.
I found this in a message and tried it. This is what the person said to do:
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK | BOOT.INI tab | Under Boot Options select: /SAFEBOOT
Ok so I did what this person said to do.
I went into the start menu and under Boot Options I selected /SAFEBOOT.
My computer will not go into Safe Mode. It goes into a loop and keeps trying to reboot into safe mode. I have tried everything I can think of. I can’t get Windows up and running.
I have tried:
In the Windows Advanced Options Menu:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with command prompt
Enable boot logging,
Enable VGA mode,
Last known good configuration and……
Directory Services….
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure.
Start Windows normally.
Reboot
What I need is for someone to tell me how to change this Boot sequence without going into Windows the normal way. Or how to tell windows when it boots up to ignore that /SAFEBOOT setting.
I’m getting online using my laptop. It is my desktop that is toast now.
Windows XP PRO SP3
AMD Athlon 64 3000 512 meg memory
Really can’t tell you much more because I can’t get into my system.
Please help. There are a lot of photos and years of info. I don’t want to lose.
