After i formatted my computer on october'08 due to re-starting problem, it was running finely for a few months [2-3], then the re-starting problem start again (auto-restart). Once i open my computer, it would restart several times and most of the times restart before even it reach the welcome screen.

My computer is Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition,version 2002, sp3.

Last warning it promt was
"window could not start because the following file is mising or corrupt: system32\DRIVERS\isapnp.sys".

Get Killdisk here:

It will take at least four hours to do it's job but once done you will be able to have your computer up and running, once you have installed your operating system that is.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

by the scummy one

there is a spot on the drive that is going bad, and part of the system32 file resides on it.
Before a wipe and reload, may I suggest to run a scandisk with the repair option.

After running/repair does the problem still occur? If so, try the above =, backup your data and kill the drive, then use the low level format ustil from the drives manufacturer, then rebuild. If the problem re-occurs, replace the hard drive.
