URGENT: Windows XP Won't Boot
Hello,
First off, sorry for the long post.
Well if you've been around to my posts, you would have seen that I thought I had a virus and tried to scan my system, but it kept freezing. I don't know if the reason I can't boot is because a virus but I need to fix it.
So, I'm dual booted with Fedora Linux (off-subject: going to Mandrake, Fedora sucks IMO) and whenever I go to the menu and select Windows [instead of booting to Fedora] it kind of boots. It goes to the thing that says that there was an error and lets you choose for Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, or Start Windows Normally. I click Start Windows Normally because it says if you don't know why it is doing this, choose this. When I press enter, it like freezes and no matter how long I wait (30 min, but don't think I just sat there, lol) it just doesn't get past here.
Here are some key points:
Around one to two months ago, it used to do this but it would only take about 20 seconds to get past the "choose how you want to boot, because there was an error" screen.
After I installed Fedora as dual boot, windows still booted but it started causing the errors such as freezing while doing a virus scan. (Unless I forgot... I might have forgotten, which isn't good)
Those two are probably the best reasons why I don't think it's the virus, but I don't know.
I boot up with the Windows XP Corporate Edition and go to the System Recovery Console. I do a "chkdsk" (Check Disk). It displays exactly this:
C:\>chkdsk
The volume appears to be in good condition and was not checked. Use /p if you want to check the volume anyway.
C:\>chkdsk /p
CHKDSK is checking the volume...
CHKDSK is performing additional checking or recovery...
CHKDSK is performing additional checking or recovery...
CHKDSK is performing additional checking or recovery...
CHKDSK found one or more errors on the volume.
93185000 kilobytes total disk space.
64020816 kilobytes are available.
4096 kilobytes in each allocation unit.
23296250 total allocation units on disk.
16005204 allocation units available on disk.
Probably don't need the last part but owell.
Thanks so much in advance,
Alacritous
