Hello all -
I had a problem with my main computer where it would boot extremely
slowly, and sometimes reboot during startup. After progressively
escalating problems, the machine finally refused to boot off of the
disk. After trail-and-error testing the IDE disk, motherboard, and IDE
cable, I decided that the problem was the motherboard, and replaced
it.
Now the machine boots to the drive okay, but the machine reboots
during startup. After seeing what was loading, I discovered that the
machine reboots during a slight pause after it says it's loading
mup.sys.
Of course, I can't boot into the machine to troubleshoot it; it
reboots no matter what mode I boot into. Unfortunately I don't have a
rescue disk. My installation CD has disappeared after several moves.
What might be causing this reboot?
If bet my problematic windows system disk on another system, is there
a way I can edit the registry on it?
