Here's a problem that popped up - I try to boot into my computer running Windows 2000 Professional, and the system gets to the Windows 2000 logo screen then automatically goes into a reboot, and the cycle repeats itself. An error message pops up but only for a split second so I cannot read it. I have not installed anything onto the computer in over two months. It's set up as NTFS, only one partition, and it's a Compaq 7000 Series.
Two question:
1. What the heck is wrong (sorry, had to ask)? 2. Is there a way to freeze the error screen as it pops up so I can read it?
Can you boot into safe mode? If not, than just reinstall Windows 2000. Don't waste any more time trying to fix it when a reinstall will do the trick better, faster, and cleaner. Do not reformat your hard drive, just reinstall. Yes, you'll have to reinstall your apps, but you'll end up with a very very clean and fast installation.
Thanks for the reply, Mike. I tried F8, but every command I try there does the same thing - it starts the boot sequence but kicks out and starts over again. The Repair function on the Windows install CD does not even work.
My last resort is to move the hard drive into another machine, copy the files onto the host drive, and reinstall Windows. Not the best solution, but it is the only common one amongst anyone I have spoken with.
