Xp just won't load?

Well last night right after I logged in on my name my computer unexpectedly froze...I then shut down the computer and restarted it... It loaded up as normal, It also scanned the harddrive since it was not shutdown properly... But when it was all done it began to load.... the only problem was it never reach the screen wih all the accounts... it just got frozen on a black screen... I tried i all again... but the next time message came up o choose to load the computer in Safe mode, Normal Mode, or he Load it with the settings that work best... And still the computer go **** on the same black screen...

Does anybody know whats wrong and how i can fix it?
I can't get into my computer at all...
(if your wondering im using a much older computer that i have to post this message)

 

XP wont boot

Put your installation CD in and boot from it. It worked for me.

 

Hi chris,

I had the same problem as you, with the XP logo appearing and the little green bars moving along the screen then just a blank screen with no user accounts to log onto and just frozen.

Unfortunately, I had to totally reformat, which, as you probably know, is a professional pain in the 'Behind'.

Hope it doesnt happen to you and you get it sorted.

 

.....Man i hope that installation cd plan works...

Reformating will be a major set back... soo many files will be lost... i mean i always back up alot of files bu there still so much on there... in fact i was about to back up a bunch of files when he computer froze... whats really gonna hurt is the fact that i've been working on a little personal project... ook me days to get it near perfect and now...

O man thanks for the help guys... i just hope it works

Through i still wonder what caused the problem in the first place... if i don't find out i can bet that my family will blame me... they always do : (

 

Chris ...

For future reference, consider partitioning the hard drive so that you can save all of your data and userfiles on a partition other than the one with the OS on it.

That way, when it becomes necessary to format and reinstall Windows, you won't lose your personal files.
