please help ,pc blank screen after boot up

brian_723

I cannot see anything after xp boots up it is okay untill it boot can see options ,such recovery console which does not work safe mode is my only way i can see of fixing this but i get lots of lines with multi0 disk 0 disk partition 1 windows system 32 and so on .I think because of all the time i had to switch off with out shutting down I have probaly got a disk error but when i do normal log on I have blank screen and in safe mode it does not load I am stuck .I would run disk check utility but need to boot on first to do this .

Window recovery console is no good as it does not take any comands such as 1 .


I was messing about with the view before this happened and am sure I can fix this f only I can boot up in safe mode .in normal mode i can hear that it boots okay and all is good but i cannot see the screen on my pc.


I was wondering if I could run a disk check downloaded from my notebook then make it do check on start up .

I have tried all the options enabling vga ,also last know good start up and all no good .


please please any help ,been trying google but this noteboook I am on is so slow and the forums are to slow .

any help would be great ,thnaks .

Try running an XP recovery disc.

e.g. Save this http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/files/rc.iso

Use burning software with the "burn CD using an image file" type option. If you don't know what this means, you'll likely do it wrong so ask for more advice.

Thanks but I have no access to cd burner as my notebook has no drives ,i have an xp dis sp 2 which i could do repair install but this will install an old version of ie which creates a poblem with licence ,which is not uasly a rpob if safe mode works as i can get around this ,

Can possibly make a bootable USB disk if the affected PC supports booting from USB (format a USB drive with SD Formatter, then use UNETBOOTIN and the rc.iso).

Alternatively see if the XP SP2 disk will allow you to do startup repair not a reinstall.

Asau?

Anyway, if you have a suitable Flash drive, preferably a 2GB drive, you can make a bootable Windows XP SP3 flash drive.

You will need WinToFlash and a suitable XP disc image.
