Hi,
Anyone able to offer a solution to bootup problem on a friends pc running xp that wont bootup. When it starts In safe mode just get a black screen with White text filled with these multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS\ system32\drivers (there various text after drivers)
Don't think there's being any major changes to the system but not sure. Any help would be great. Thanks

Need your XP disk and do boot from that to do a repair I think.
And if you get past that problem - virus checking/malware etc.0 -
Chkdsk or bootcfg from recovery console

Failing that, startup repair.
Failing that, repair install. Failing that, reinstall.
Alternatively, you could replace those affected system files from recovery console.0 -
Cheers both sure there's a recovery cd around somewhere, I'll dig it out and have a go. Thanks0
