Can't Get To Windows

[Boceefus]

When I turn on the computer, I get the screen that lets me choose safe mode,
normal mode, Last known good config, etc...No mater what i choose, Windows
begins to start and then the machine restarts and goes right back to the same
screen. I've tried chkdsk /r fixboot and fixmbr. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

I even tried bootcfg /rebuild but can't do that either.

What is the recent history of this machine? What are the specs of the
computer?

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Without knowing more, it's impossible to say what happened and how to fix
it. In the meantime, a good troubleshooting step is to boot with a Linux
Live CD. I like Knoppix, but there are others. This has two advantages: 1)
if the system will run, you can back up any data that missed your last
backup; and 2) running the machine with Linux helps to determine if the
problems are caused by software or hardware. If the machine is unbearably
slow and/or Linux can't run correctly, you know the hardware is at fault.
If the machine behaves perfectly under Linux, you know that software
(Windows) is at fault.

Post back with more information, results of the Live CD, etc. for more
focused help.
