[ghosthunter]

have to tried "restore to last good" option?

[step22]

btw i also tried to go on safe mode but it also stop reponding...

[BlueBimmer]

something is wrong with your windows xp config or system files, perhaps you installed some new apps which modified the boot config, sometimes it will cause windows xp to freeze while booting.

best thing to do is opt for system restore, press F8 before XP boots. or go to safe mode, baka makapasok ka to fix any problems.

if all else fails, reinstall a fresh copy of Windows XP.

[step22]

yup all options dun sa F8 boot menu...

[BlueBimmer]

mukhang reinstall nalang..

[step22]

if i choose the safe mode options it freezes. but don sa start windows normaly at last good parang ok naman yun nga lang wala ng lumabas after nung win xp logo screen, black nalang. pero hindi siya stop responding kasi after a while gumagana when you press alt f4 then u nagshushut down naman cya...

[step22]

reinstall??? waaah... di puwede ang daming important files doon.

[box_type]

afaik, kung reinstall lang ng os di po mawawala mga docs?

[Syuryuken]

Lagyan mo ng ibang video card kung ayaw pa rin reformat mo na.

[impulzz]

happened to me once, buti naka partition HD ko and all my data was on drive D:, C: only had the OS and the programs kaya ok lang reinstall.

pero pag orig XP pwede mo restore lang without damaging the data, aayusin nya OS lang.

[moe]

you can do a repair installation. your files won't be damaged. did it a lot of times. you may, however, want to do a fresh install after backing up your files.

[flex]

Tama si moe, you could try the repair option and if still doesn't work, sadly you have to reformat your PC..

This is the reason why I place my important files on the other partitioned disks so that if i need to reformat it, it wont get deleted.

It's also impt to back them up in a CD...you'll never know...

[X-isle]

yup, repair option lang yan, no need to reformat... basta may cd ka magagamit mo yung repair option... pero hindi yung first repair option ha, ung second repair option... check this site, it will really help you a lot!!! Promise, it even has picture screenshots to guide you through http://www.informationweek.com/share...leID=189400897 Let us know if what happened sa pc mo ha!

[step22]

waaaaaaaaaah... yap my xp cd has a repair option but it is askin for the administrator password! i didn't remember i put a password. i tried several times but after 3 incorrect attempts it restarts.

guys any other options?

or anyone who knows how to retrieve the administrator password??

[moe]

hmmmm. were you the one who installed the previous copy of windows? anyways, try the 4 zero combo or 12345 or 1234 or leave it blank. if all else fails remove your harddisk, and attach it to another pc, copy/backup your files then do a clean install.

[morpheus08]

I make it a habit when installing an OS, I place my data on a different partition separate from the system files. That way, when the system goes south, I can reinstall the OS without affecting my data files.

[vhenok]

Rule of Thumb:

Always have separate partitions for System and your data para in cases of System failures, intact pa din mga files/data mo.

If you have another PC, slave mo muna and copy all the data you need. Then saka mo reformat/reinstall para ma-resolve yung problem.

[step22]

how to slave what do you min with that? we have tried to put it on another pc, but when i try to copy the documents and settings folder " cannot copy make sure the disk is not full or write protected" (w/c is not), when i try to click the folder to open it " access denied appears...

[step22]

problem still not solved...
