I have a pc where XP won’t boot. Not only won’t it boot but safe mode won’t work, last known won’t work, etc etc. None will. Not even an XP emergency start up on floppy will.
I get this messege with the emergency floppy: “Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.”
First off, I have no manuals for anything. I do have an XP disk but I get the same result with it. It just keeps going back to the options, none of which work.
I need to know a back door to a dos prompt. If I can get to a dos prompt I will be able to fix it from there. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
John
