Re: Windows 2000 continuosly reboots.

Can't get it to even boot from the Windows CD. Can't get to the setup screen so I can get it to boot from CD and not the hard drive. Any suggestions? Any mode on the safe mode screen does not work.
Only option at starting is the F8 key which brings me back to the screen that all options on there do not work.

Re: Windows 2000 continuosly reboots.

if you get to the safe mode screen you can get to
the win2000 cd ,you need to ge into the bios and change the boot order to cd-rom first ,do this by hitting del or f1-f2 f10 -f11 ,depending what computer you have ,it usually says when computer starts to boot up what key to hit .

Tried all the F1 F2 F10 and F11 keys and the del but none work. The computer I am having problems with is an IBM NetVista.
Suggestions? Would crash it but can't even get it to recognize a CD in it.

i think its f1 for ibm ,start hitting it over and over as soon as you start the computer and don't stop until it goes to bios.

Re: Windows 2000 continuosly reboots.

Okay got it to boot to the BIOs screen . Got it to go to the repair option! Do I want to repair by pressing "c" for the recovery console or "R" for emergency repair process?
Please hang in there with me as you are a lifesaver!!!
