This exact same thing just happened to me.. have there been any large discoveries in fixing this or am I just going to have to repair?

On the upside, i'm considering using linux - windoze seems to be more unstable than a female teenager with self-esteem issues. -.-

Re: help windows wont start
 

Is there a button for the most sensible idea somewhere i wonder?????

:D

EDIT:Steady now zing;)

Re: help windows wont start
 

Well I always find NOT to muck around with RAID to be the best way. XP and Vista are, in the main, perfectly stable.

Re: help windows wont start
 

I didn't read the entire thread, but I haven't touched RAID in the slightest :(

Re: help windows wont start
 

I have no problem at all with anyone who wishes to use Nix. Lemony is a very clever lad. He didnt say Hey I have a windows install and need help fixing it and then was met with "try linux" posts ergo I would not have a problem so no need to steady me ;)

Re: help windows wont start
 

I'm just sick of the XP instability with the memory/motherboard/machine i've spent money on so tbh I'd rather try something else that may actually give me some stable results and won't cock up after a few months of use :td:

Re: help windows wont start
 

Good luck to ya mate and hope all is well :)

Re: help windows wont start
 

No worries zing ok.:)
Lets at least be able to mention alternative OS options though without it being a problem.Sorry for the "steady" thing btw......i`m tooooooo much of a joker at times it seems.

Anyway,if an OP ever finds any suggestions of using alternative operating systems out of the question then i`m sure they themselves can inform the posters doing the recommending.They really dont need anyone else making assumptions on their behalf.

Of course someone struggling in the midst of some XP nightmare certainly dont need to hear about Linux at that moment but someone ....say, with a blank drive to start out......thats slightly different me thinks;)

Personally,learning how to use our computers is much more fun than learning how to just keep them usable.Thats all i seemed to do during the short time i actually had Windows.
