My Sony Desktop boots normally but won’t boot in Safe mode. It goes out of scan range with the following dialogue
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers, etc.

I let it continue to get to safe boot but it eventually hits the point where the computer shuts down.

Any help would be most appreciated. Anyone out there have any ideas??
