Windows XP Boot & Bluescreen???

A friend of mine tried to boot his computer today - and received a bluescreen! Maybe there was a failure code but %26lt;1/10second on the screen.



He owns legal Windows XP Pro Sp2 and has nothing else done than booting.



Is this a new trick of Microsoft to earn more money or has his PC broken down?



Please, only serious answers!



Windows XP Boot %26amp; Bluescreen???microsoft word



Boot into the Bios setup.



Set the CD Rom as the first boot device.



Put the Recovery or Windows XP disk in the CDRom.



Save and exit the bios setup.



This will restart the computer bipassing the Hard Drive and boot on the CD Rom.



Attempt to repair XP. Get a tekkie friend to help.



If that doesn't work then reinstall XP from scratch Creating and formating a new NTFS drive on C:



If you can't get the HDD to format as NTFS the hard drive boot sector is damaged and you may need a new drive.



OK?

Maybe he has a diskette in his "A" drive and windows tries to boot from it or he has a hardware problem.
You know, that happened to me, about a year ago.



I had to re-load my operating system.



it said that file system32 had been deleted (which evidently is the main file that the computer uses to start windows.



Has he tried again?
It might be corrupted . Use the repair option on the xp cd , and follow the prompts. If all else fails , your friend might have to do a reinstall of the operating system . There are a lot of reasons why this may have happened . The best thing to do is search proper pc forums like this one
