how can i get xp to load up

  1. #1

    XP just will not start up anymore, desperatly need help!

    hey i really need help!!!

    suddenly when i load up xp, it just pauses on the loading screen for 10 mins then restarts!
    non of the safe modes work i just get file record segment #### is unreadable!
    I tried booting up with the origional disc and went to repair mode. used chkdsk at the command prompt and it ran then i got the message

    found one or more errors on volume

    when i restarted it still didn't work

    what am i doing wrong? can u help?

    right do NOT ever repost! please just bump up your thread or be patient, never double post a new thread!

    your error means roughly the same thing as the old 9x Scandisk on
    a FAT partition saying bad cluster.

    Use chkdsk/f

    Also try fixboot

    Next step would be a repair install:
