    Hello,

    First thing you should try is putting the Windows XP Home CD in and booting off it. Start the installation and then hit R when prompted for repairing the installation. Don't do recovery console. Do the repair. This will reload Windows and it will not effect your data.

    Good luck

    Hello,

    Going to need more information. When you turn your notebook on, does the Windows startup screen show up? Does your computer beep once when turned on? Do you have any USB devices plugged into it?

    Thanks

    Hi Rasha, We seem to be experiencing the same in a corporate environemt as well, we have had over half a dozen of these instances in the last 2 weeks. Not much info on this out there. The only thing we have implemented recently is Symantec Endpoint Protection, so not sure if that is causing it, the only other thing would be regular windows updates. I have found that booting the system to a utility cd (Hirens etc.) will allow you to access and restore the latest registry hives from System Volume Information.

    Boot to a live cd to be able to access the c drive.
    Then follow the steps outlined in this article:

    replace x's with t's in the url above.

    Hope that helps, wish we knew what was causing it, as it is a real pain if it happens at a remote location.

    James
