It just keeps looping itself trying to boot , that happens about 90% of time the other 10% i get a missing Ntdrl file or something like that i only saw it a few times and it stops... any help would be great
Thanks

Try this:

Boot from your XP CD:
and enter the recovery console and type
BootCfg /Rebuild

Justin - I have the same problem - it started on the 27th of Dec. - A buddy
of mine thinks its either a vid card problem or virus - I can't confirm
either - There's another post from yesterday from someone named "stuck" -
kind of strange this is the 3rd post on this problem in 2 days - if I find
anything out I'll post a reply -- Lan in NE

I also have this problem - i can view the hard drive in dos but cannot start XP or re-install xp as it says i need to format my hard drive first (which i don't want to do) It started a couple of days ago with xp freezing and then just went into a reboot loo

any suggestions would be appreciated
