PC troubles

[Jonny Chleevas]

I'm in a catastrophe, my 'Work' PC, as i call it, is, undoubtedly fugged.

Here's the lowdown;

My PC, i dunno the specs, however, it runs Windows XP Pro, and its not a legit copy, and i have no idea of the history before i had it.

I recently uninstalled WIN XP SP3 (service pack 3) as it was incompatible with many of my programs (this is why rmxp glitched) and it was an unfinished version. I wend to start, Set Program access and defaults, Add/remove programs, and it was there, on the front page. From there, i clicked 'Remove' and it started uninstalling. After this, it told me that it need to reboot for finalize the uninstallation. Fine, okay, reboot i clicked.

Then it got bad, the computer starts fine, but right after the boot screen (This), it pauses for about 20 seconds, and restarts.

I have tried every option, upon pressing F8, including safe mode and last best setting, but it still restarts. I do not have the Windows XP CD, and can not recover the system to fix it.


ANY help would be great, and if the person who fixes the problem exists here at HOF, you will be hailed as a god to me.

My bro and I have talked it over, and this is what we have thus far:
You have two options Jonny Boi.
1. Completely start fresh.I can help you with this by getting *ahem* another non-legit copy of the cd, along with a program to burn it to a cd for any future use if problems occur. In this way, though, you will lose all data that you previously had (ie unposted maps).

2. Send it in to Microsoft, but this is not the smartest idea. If the Windows you have was not legit, they will most likely find out, hunt you down, and most likely arrest you for illegal software possession.

Btw, I had the problem you had before as well. Its either a graphics driver failure due to unsuccessful downgrading to Service Pack 2, or you have a virus of deadly proportions, in which case you have no hope of a savior other than option 1.

Contact me via PM with your answer.

Your computer has a currupt hardrive. This happened to me a while ago after a routine reboot but luckily, I have DskChk run everytime before it boots so XP was able to fix the problem without any madness.

In reality, the problem could be anything, but it's definately a hardware conflict. Since the computer actually starts up, it's not your motherboard.

yeag, the disk i'm gonna burn from des will put it in the Recovery mode, so that should sort it.

Problem; the ISO burning software (and i've tried lots) won't find the drive that my disk is in, can i still just use the normal defult burning sofware already on my PC?

Nero? It has to burn an ISO file to the disk. If you have Nero or something like it, then yes you can use it.
