After Recent Updates Windows Won't Start Up

[Luke Amoresano]

I recently used the automatic updates for windows xp home
feature. After clicking yes to restart, Windows would not
start up properly in any mode. How can I get Windows to
start up again?

Boot with your XP disk or recovery disk and go into the
recovery console and enter r for the repair feature. If
you need a list of commands then type help and hit enter.
Keep smiling.

Umm Not I didn't. I don't recommend many sites and know
nothing about this one. But I will read the info contained
therein and give you my honest opinion if you like.

I think I get your point Gordon. Not enough info.
Therefore.To start the Recovery Console from the Windows
CD, follow these steps:
Insert the Windows CD and restart your computer. Follow
your computer's prompts to start from the CD. (You may
need to adjust settings in the computer's BIOS to enable
the option to start from a CD.)
Follow the setup prompts to load the basic Windows startup
files. At the Welcome To Setup screen, press R to start
the Recovery Console.
If you have multiple options on the Windows startup menu,
enter the number of the Windows installation you want to
access from the Recovery Console.

Ifyou have only a single Windows installation to choose
from, you might be tempted to just press Enter here. Don't
do it. You must type the number of the Windows
installation to start the Recovery Console. If you press
Enter, Windows restarts. Also, resist the temptation to
select the entry for another Windows version from this
menu. Although the Recovery Console automatically detects
Windows 2000 and Windows NT installations on multiboot
systems, logging on to one of these operating systems is
not recommended, because you risk damaging the earlier
operating system's core files if you perform any repairs.
To repair installations of Windows 2000, use the Recovery
Console from that operating system version. To repair a
Windows NT installation, use the Windows NT Emergency
Repair Disk.
When prompted, type the Administrator password. If you're
using the Recovery Console on a system running Windows XP
Home Edition, this password is blank by default, so just
press Enter.
At the command prompt, enter Recovery Console commands
directly.
To quit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, use
the Exit command. For a list of commands type help and hit
enter. Keep smiling.

He's just being an ass. He doesn't have any reason to have replied to your
post the way he did or with what he did. In other words, the guy's an idiot,
and shows it every time he types something out.

Do you even know what 'PLONK' means you moron? This is the *second* time
you've 'PLONKED' him...either you're full of shit, don't know what it means or
how to do it, or both (I lean toward 'both' in your case).
