My computer cannot boot up for some reason. Whenever I try to boot it up, the
following text will appear, white words on a black screen:
We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully.
A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was
automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known
Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.
If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power of failure or
because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren’t sure what
caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally
I've tried all of the options listed above, but each one will bring me back
to the same black screen with the above text.
I read somewhere to try boot it up using the WIN XP cd and then use the
Recovery Console, however when I inserted my Win XP Professional disc into
the CDRom drive, it doesnt seem to read the disc at all and goes back to the
abovesaid black screen.
Do I need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS before it can read the
disc? Currently my 1st Boot Device is PM-ST3120827AS, and my 2nd Boot Device
is 3M-Sony CD-RW CRX320E.
I am not very technical, so more importantly I would like to ask if what I
am doing or planning to do is in the right direction? Or is there a better
way to solve this problem? I do not want to lose all my data in the hard
disk.
Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated. Thank you!
