safe mode

[Guest]

My battery went dead on my lap top. When I went to turn it back on after
charging it, it came up telling me that I didnt shut down properly. So I had
an option to boot back up in safe mode. I did, however when the 20 or 30
seconds went by, it appeared it was starting back up, but it keeps coming
back up with same options as before. I have tried to start back up with all
options. My laptop will not get pass that point. Can anyone help me out with
this issue. I didnt download anything. My laptop was up to date with
everything, and nortons had did its scheldule scan, no virus' or problems
where reported. Thank you, FoxieBrown

Did it have the option "last good boot"? If not, hit F8 when boot starts
and see if that is in the menu.

Thanks FrankV for responding...Yes It states "last known good
configuration"( your most recent setting that worked).I did that, and hit f8
and nothing is working. It has done the same thing about 100 times, I have no
clue to what I should do

 

[FrankV]

Don't hit the F8 again. Just click that so it loads the good configuration..

I have done all that, after the 30 seconds before restarting, the window logo
comes up and the bar is scrolling as if its about to restart. It never
restart. It keeps on doing the same thing over and over again. I can never
get to my window screen. I have turned the laptop off, and the same thing
keeps happening

The laptop powers off by itself, and comes right back to the same screen the
screen states " we aplogize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start
successfully" and its gives the options on how to restart, as I said
previously, I have chose all options. None are working. My laptop keeps
powering off and coming back to all I have stated.

sometimes, when there is
an interruption of power,
like from lightening, windows
may have a problem booting
correctly.

in your case it was due
to a low battery and you
didn't have hibernation
enabled to initiate prior
to loosing all power. hibernation
would have shut down windows
expediciously, thus perserving
the integrity of the o.s. and file system.

therefore, you might try to use the
"recovery console" by booting
with a windows cd and log
into the file system.

at the prompt run:

chkdsk
fixboot

then "exit" and see if
you can reboot normally
without the cd.

here are some details about
the process. the above is
a quick shortcut:

if by chance you cannot obtain'
any windows setup to simply
access the recovery console
you might be able to initiate
a recovery console from your
hd via safemode.

the above should work. however, if
it does not, then we may have to
look a bit deeper into the issue you
are having.

let us know your stats.

You need to boot from the CD - when you turn the PC on, go into set-up
(F12 or F10, or the button that says "set-up") and change the first boot
device to CD.

most motherboards
are set to skip the cd and boot
directly from the hd.

so what you should
do is to access your bios/cmos
settings.

once you have access
to the cmos settings, check around
for something relating to
setting / enabling the first
boot device to be the cd.

afterwards, save, exit and the reboot
will check your cd drive.

btw: check your laptop
manual or go to the website
for your laptop and check out
the instructions to access your
cmos menu.
