Help, I'm looping!!!!!

[cmputrskillme]

Ok here goes...........

When machine starts........black screen offers me safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, last know good.....etc. I've tried all of them.

When trying safe mode, it runs until it gets to the Windows/System32/Drivers/MVP.sys
hangs there for a sec and restarts.

When I try to run the CD to repair it, I get this big long message:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defrag or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration and check for any updated drivers. Run chkdsk/f to check for hard drive corruption and then restart.

Technical Info

****stop: 0x00000024 (0x001902f8, 0xf89b8704,0xf89b8404,0xf81c6411)
****ntfs.sys - address f81c6411 base at f8158000, datestamp 3b7dc5d0

And there you have it, I don't know what any of that means up there
Reinstall over top? I haven't tried that option yet.


Bet it will restart..........

Any ideas? I'm gonna go and get that ISO boot zip.

Thanks,

Can you boot from a Windows XP CD?

Yup, that is what needs to happen. Thanks for clarifying where the restart was happening and the stop message.
MS indicates that it is a problem with the partition and that needs to be repaired. Here is the link to the MS support article that leads you thru how to fix it.
Please let us know how you are doing.
