Re: my windows xp will not start up

Can you get into the BIOS???(BY Hitting DELETE F6 F5 or what ever your comp screen says while its black before the XP screen appears after boot) hit refresh so you can see my post faster.

Re: my windows xp will not start up

If you ever make a system configuration change, and the damn thing won't boot up correctly when it loads windows, hit the f8 key when your PC is first booting. Run Windows in safe mode, and undo the configuration change, either by doing it manually, or system restore, than reboot.

my windows xp will not start up

i tried to reinstall my windows xp pro by putting the disk in from the boot up.
It started installing and finished but now when i restart my computer it comes up with a blue screen and that say STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF9E4D640,0XC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000) i know that the 0x0000007b means device error or something but i dont have a clue what to do.
Is there a way i can format my drive completly and reinstall windows again?

Re: my windows xp will not start up

Use the Cd to format the drive. When you boot up with the Cd tell it to install a fresh copy of windows. It will ask you what partition. Just delete the partition that is there and it you want create a new one. It will then ask you is you want to format
