Hold down F8 during start up. This will give you your boot options. First try "last known good", if that doesn't work, boot into safe mode. Click "start", "all programs", "accessories", "system tools", "system restore". Choose a restore point that it worked ok. System restore may not be turned on. Here's a link about it. http://www.rlrouse.com/system-restore.html If still no luck, while in safe mode click "start", "run" type "sfc /scannow". Have your installation CD handy. If still having problems run a virus scan while in safe mode. then try sfc /scannow again.

I have tried the safe mode and it doe sthe same thing but i will try the other things.. anymore subjestions?

BTW... What do you think caused this... was it a virus or a game conflicting with sumthin or did i do it by mistake??

My computer has almost the same problem, instead it says it has a problem with FAT32. IF you start it in normal mode it starts up with the check computer disk thing, and once it gets to 100 and lists some thing it flashes a blue screen and restarts. If you start it in the safe mode, it freezes at a file and briefly shows the blue screen before starting up again. Is this a virus? Are any of the files savable? How do I fix it? heaalp please!
