That is the error I get when I try to boot my computer. I
can use the F8 option but I will get the same message no
matter which option I choose. I have tried using my Setup
disk but I guess that when you upgrade to XP that becomes
void. I was running ME. I have tried using another
recovery disk from another computer of mine but no luck
there either. If I could just get to a Dos prompt I could
follow the instructions I have found in the knowledge
base to get me back up and running. I really do not
rellish the idea of doing the reinstall of windows
because there are alot of things I would like to keep on
my system.

Thanks in Advance,

Jimmy Hogan
 
One of the options at F8 is Safe Mode with Command Prompt
option, choose that and good luck
