The blue screen appears at the Windows XP HE greeting
screen. I can't get to my desktop or an explorer. Can I
do this from dos mode? If so how do I get there from the
initial screen. A F-key maybe?

Hey Brandie,

Were you running sfc when this occurred ?

Have you installed service pack 1, an updated version of
this file was
included in sp1.

If not, then do so, and it should fix the problem.

If you have installed sp1, then a copy of this file
should be in
\windows\servicepackfiles\i386

Go into \windows\system32\dllcache and rename the
sfcfiles.dl to
sfcfiles.bak
Now go into \windows\system32 and do the same thing.
Now windows file protection should kick in, it can't
replace the file from
the dllcache folder because you renamed it, so it should
look to the
servicepackfiles folder, if you didnt have sp1 installed,
it would prompt
for the installation cd.

Hey Brandie,

Can you boot into safe mode ?

When you power the system on you normally get one or two black and white
screens with hardware information. At the end of this it normally tries to
boot from a cd, you may get a message such as "Hit any key to boot from CD"

Just before you see this point start tapping the F8 key, and instead of
windowx xp trying to boot, you will get the safe mode menu.

Choose "safe mode" without any additions such as video networking or command
prompt and see it you can get in.

If you can get in ok, then

start/all programs/accesssories/command prompt

Run chkdsk to repair any problems

chkdsk /R C:

Replace C: if necessary with the drive letter of the disk containing windows
xp.

You will get a message like



"The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)"

Answer Y and reboot

Chkdsk will run and fix any file system corruptions

When its finished try and boot normally and let me know what happens.

Reply to this post, don't post a new message, I monitor all posts I reply to
(occasionally I forget to flag one), but if you post anew I won't
necessarily see it.

Paul
