Hey Guys,
I have this problem and I need some advice.
Basically heres what happened. I left my computer on this morning while i was at college. So I come back and its been freezing after leaving it on too long, normally this hasnt been happening. I do however have the proper cooling. So I restart and I get the error Unmountable_Boot_Error. So I stick my XP CD in and run a repair utility. I was gonna fix it with a CHKDSK. I get to impatience and dont finish for it to load. I restart and it asks how i want to book xp. I choose last known good configuration. Then computer restarts during the bootscreen of xp, right after its done it restarts. However the computer Loads in safe mode, with networking,normal safe mode,safe mode with command prompt and such. I tried using msconfig and changing the boot.ini file to normal, still doesnt work. I also tried a restore, but I knew that wouldnt be it. I have no idea now. Sometimes it freezes during the bootup. I seem to get alot of blue screen errors recently, 2 in the past month, both fixable through repair utility. Im running XP in safe mode with networking now. Any suggestions? If I reformat Im sure it will fix it and load and install xp normally, but then im sure problems will arise again. I was thinking I need a new HD.
What do you guys think?
