Was given a Think pad that was riddled with bugs. and not updated. Started getting rid of the bugs then load SP2. I don't know whatr happened but now the thing loads the windows screen then blue screens
Error Stop 0x0000006b

Then gives option to start in Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with comand prompt

Last Known good config

Start windows normaly


I can press F8 and it adds
Enable boot logging
Enable VGA mode
Directory Services Restore Mode
Debugging mode

I have tried all of them and it just keeps trying to reload, blue screen, windows option menu.

Help?????

do you have Roxio GoBack or Norton system works installed?

if you enter the bios screen (usualy F2 when computer is 1st switched on) and change the boot sequence so that your CD drive is at the top, then try restarting the computer with the xp cd in the drive.

hope this helps
Mike

Nope F1-F12 no boot menu. Starts to load then blue screen, Starts to load then blue screen, Starts to load then blue screen, Starts to load then blue screen

did the machine have XP originally on it?

pressing Delete may get you into the BIOS to alter the boot sequence

That is the message except it has a stop code of (0xC000007a, 0x00000008. 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Yes haxe an XP CD

made sure your CD drive it set as the 1st boot device
