xp windows wont load, nor will boot disk! please help!

by mcicki08 . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

When I start my computer I cant get passed the windows screen. It’s tries to load and stps.

I tried booting into safe mode, but it stops again in the same place.

I tried to put my windows cd in to recover the console, but it goes to a black screen has me press any key, and once i do that it goes to the windows startup screen again. NOT the setup screen so that I can reinstall my windows.

I tried to change my boot sequence so that the CD rom would be 1st. This did nothing, I had the same problem. It’s as if my cd rom isnt readint the disk at all. I can hear it , but nothing occurs, it’s like the disk just stays in place.

I’ve never had this problem, when I went to bed my computer was finelast night, now it’s just gone from bad to worse.

The bootdisk works, I tried it on my friends computer.

I also tried to press F8 and went to last known good configuration , but it did nothing…literally nothing happened.

Is there a way to access the dos prompt from the F2 setup menu?

I am at a loss as to what to do, I ‘d appreciate any advice or help!

Thanks!
