XP loops in safe mode!

by lynnski93 . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

I know someone out there can help, you guys always have the answer! My pc wasnt seeing the CD-rom…in device mgr, in my computer, not even in boot up screen.

I wanted to boot in safe mode but it wouldnt go in using F8 so i went to run/msconfig/boot.ini and changed it to safe mode. NOW the freekin thing will boot, go to advanced options screen and no matter which option i choose (safe mode, command prompt, normal) it will reboot and loop back to the advanced options screen!

I did get it to the longer advanced options by pressing f8 in the loop, and it gives me more options like disable auto restart…which i did and i get the blue screen: “bad_pool_caller check hardware/sftwr & windows for udates. Disable/remove hrdwr/sftwr. Disable BIOS memory options such as Caching or shadowing” Which i dont know how to…i did unplug the CD rom just in case that was the original issue…i am stumped!

I have reset the cmos, just went back to loop….Argh! Any ideas? I am out! And this is our company computer!

please please please….any ideas??
