Bootup Problem
Ok, I tried to reinstall windows xp pro after a registry problem on my laptop and all I get is an error message "Error loading operating system"
If I boot from the CD to try again it goes thru all the procedures until it comes to the "setup starting Windows" screen, then it shuts down. I also got a dialog box one time that says, "fake file initiates itself instead of setup.exe" Is there any way that I can clean the boot sector or registry or bios or any thing that may help me to get started again? Thanks.

How are you installing Windows XP? Is it genuine media?

Sorry bout the late reply. I got it sorted out using the Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) v4.11 I just decided to clean and reformat the entire drive. Nothing lost because I had everything backed up on another drive.
Thanks for the reply anyway, and YES my XP is genuine media. Thanks again. |
