2 days ago my i turned my pc of and the next day i turn it on an it doesnt go onto the log on screen >.<
all that happens is it goes onto a black screen and says

"start windows normanly"
"start with last known configurations"
"start in safe mode"
"safe mode using command prompt"
and
"safe mode with networking"

trying any of these does nothing, so i tryed a windows boot up floopy disc thing and when i start up my pc it comes up with

Starting...

Microsort milleniuim...

A:/>

and then nothing else happens am i meant to put something after A:/> or do i need something else? like a windows start up CD?

my pc is windows xp professional if that helps?
