Unable to load Windows. Error message The Endpoint Format is Invalid

by 4u computers support . Updated 14 years, 4 months ago

Does anyone have any advise on how to solve this problem.
The computer has windows XP Hm. When powering on it starts to load windows (the Windows screen never appears) but then displays a black screen witn a msgbox with the error “The Endpoint Format is Invalid”. Clicking on OK or closing this msgbox reboots the computer.
Trying to boot to safe mode produces the same error. I have tried to use the Windows XP Restore disk but part way through checking the system the screen turns black and I am left at a dos prompt.
I can boot from a boot disk and get access to the C:\drive. C:\drive is Partitioned.

I hope this is the right place for this query.
Thanks
