see if you can go into safe mode and run a system restore, right before the the windows xp boot screen shows up hit F5...and run system restore from safe mode

[marv]

i have safe mode in the corners of the scren and thats all

run scf off of the original XP cd that you boot to. get to a command prompt, and run SFC /? for options. Just repair the system files that it checks. If this doesn't work, do a re-install. You have deleted a necessary file.

add the checkmark, and the word [RESOLVED] to mark your thread as resolved.

ps. what did you do to fix it, anyways?

[Ideas Man]

Don't use the 98 boot disk, please stop recommending that. Do it during the Windows XP setup, if you use the boot disk, you don't get the ability to format as NTFS (or you format twice). It is a waste of time, and easier to use the Windows setup rather than FDISK.

I meant to say windows ME, and yes you do get the option....Because i have done it before

I believe it is format /FS NTFS C:

[dglienna]

will XP work on a new disk that doesn't have any active partitions? I know that ME won't (at least the restore option of Ghost) that was bundled with eMachines. I did it last month.

[Ideas Man]

Yes, if you use the format/partition utility in Windows XP setup, it will do this for you automatically.
