When Windows fails to boot it is
normally caused by you installing a program or device and it has caused a
conflict with one or more other programs. This will no doubt give you plenty of
heartache if you're not certain which program caused Windows to not boot up.
If you recently installed a program or
application and know where it was installed, you may be in much better shape as
for as correcting the error. Here are common ways to correct the problem of
your computer not completely booting up or not booting up at all.
If your computer will not boot-up at all,
hopefully you have made a good emergency boot disk. You can always make a
windows startup disk by creating one from another computer running Windows 98
or Me. Perform the following if your computer........
Won't
Boot-Up At All
FIRST: Put your boot floppy disk in the
floppy drive and turn on the PC. On some computers, you may have to access the
bios and select the Boot priority to your A: drive. Save any changes and select
"Start Computer without CDROM support" and press Enter. Once you are
at the A> prompt, type dir c: and press enter.
If your programs and other files are present,
try restoring your system Registry by following the steps below. This may
repair Windows, the Config.Sys and autoexec.bat files to where the PC may boot
up normally. When the files are present, it’s a good indication of a good hard
drive.
SECOND: To correct the problem of your
computer not booting up, type in "fdisk /mbr" and press Enter to
restore your master boot record. Type "Scandisk C:" to check the hard
drive for errors that have occurred. You can also type "Sys C:" to
hopefully restore files needed to boot up your computer.
THIRD: If the above procedures fail to
repair your computer, you can repeat the first part of step one above and
select "Start Computer with CDROM Support" re-install Windows.
