safe mode stop on reboot

[Steve]

I have restored winxp home edition (Dell), everything goes ok. Computer then
reboots to finish restore but it will only reboot in safe mode.
The restore then says it cannot continue in safe mode and reboots again in
an endless cycle.
I have used the f8 key to interrupt the reboot and change to "start windows
normally" and have tried every other choice but it always reboots into safe
mode.

1. what file is causing this?

2. is there such a thing as a cd that contains enough of an operating system
so that i can at least copy files off of the drive onto a usb drive.

1. Probably the safeboot option for bootini. If not there, then malware.

Here is a way to save Data to FD:

http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

Download the above Knoppix Live CD ISO file.

http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

Download the Vista Burning software from the above link.

After installing above ISO burning software, right-click on Knoppix ISO
file, make an Image disk.

Knoppix does not install on your PC; just uses your PC's resources, RAM,
Graphics, etc.

Plug in a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, boot with the Live CD, and you should be
able to read your Hard Drive.
Change the Flash Drive Properties from read only.
Copy your Data over to FD

At Freinman's site, there is the option to download the burn ing software for
XP.
Get appropriate XP service Pack version.
Vista was a Typo.
