XP doens't boot

[Alexander Kutz]

Hello,

i have XP home SP1. While the normal use of XP - the system is a year
old, it doesn't boot.

The Screen with the scrolling bar halted.

In safe mode the system boot, in safe mode with network not.

In Ntbtlog.txt is the last entry, that the system trys to load afd.sys -
the driver cannot load.

The System File Checker (Sfc.exe) doenst work because the tool can't
find any rpc server?!?

I tried to disable all network daoemons and i disabled all network cards
- it doesnt work.

I intalled after that SP2, nothing changed.

I cannot install the bootVis-tool because the windows installer service
doesnt run in safe mode.

ipconfig doesnt work, becouse no network work, but i want to try to
reset the network preferences.

Did someone have any ideas to get the system running?

Best regards,

Alexander

If you don't mind re-installing everything, then get a bootable DOS floppy
disk. From the command prompt use fdisk /mbr to remove the SP2 HAL (if you
don't you will probably still have a hardware failure), then format your HDD
and reboot withthe XP cd and reinstall
