I have no idea where to find a boot program or how to load it to a stick. Is it safe to assume since I am able to access the system in safe mode that it is a OS issue and not a hard drive or hard ware issue? I am running XP pro SP3 so I am assuming I would need to find a PC using the same OS and version??? My cell is 206 229 1451 since I will be at work over the next few days..

Find the last installed update (by Date) and remove it try this also just hit start/run and type one of these in to put back the windows file that is missing .http://www.windowsreinstall.com/articles/xpcommandline/SFCcommandline.htm Edited October 11, 2012 by FiShMaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what this means but LOADER said it is not good. Can someone give me a list of the things I need to pull off the old data base and what drivers I will need to update as soon as I reinstall the OS? I need to be reminded of what order I get drivers and when to reboot and such. Done it a few times but not often enough to remember it all. Thanks everyone for the help with this I am always grateful for the tech help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Is it safe to assume if I have any issues loading the windows XP disc's I have a Hard Drive issue as stated earlier? so I install OS everything is good I then install Browser and then drivers for my Mother Board off the web and then restart it and then down load that auto retrever for the remaining drivers and I will have them up to date? Then I am sure I will have to update plug ins like Flash player etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But yeah a fresh install will clean it up and yeah i doubt it will load the disk if its the HD...no worries its really easy my grandson 18 changes from windows 7 back to to xp every month lol...hes never happy hehe. but if your getting the loading screen i don't think its a bad HD. Probly when it got the update it left out a windows dll...even if its the HD i would seriously think on the external to. Hope it all goes good for you this weekend!

Last time I did this the entire info I shipped over to this old pc was done via thumb drive so may not need a external yet but who knows?
