I have checked the microsoft site to see about how I can
correct this problem on my tower. I am told that to fix
this problem I can download a patch, but the problem is
that I can not start the coputer to get the patch.
Everything I have tried up to this point has not worked,
and no matter what configuration I start in (Safe Mode
etc.) This screen still appears and I am not able to
start it still. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
 
Dan;
Power off
Desktop:...Open the case and reseat the hard drive IDE ribbon cable at
both ends.
Laptop:... simply remove and reinsert the hard drive.
If that fails:

Otherwise go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and
download their hard drive diagnostics.

Do you have a hard drive overlay such as Max Blast?
Windows XP sometimes has issues with overlay software.
You may need to perform a Clean Installation without there overlay
software which is not needed anyway.
