Open a command window (start/run type cmd in the box then enter) and you will get the following.
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
You will then have a flasihg curser after
C:\Documents and Settings\PC name>
Type
CHKDSK /f /r
You will then get
C:\Documents and Settings\PC name>chkdsk /f /r
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) y
This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.
C:\Documents and Settings\PC name>
Type exit and restart.
make sure there is a space between each / and the previos word/command
The /f and /r do the following
/f: Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive, a message appears that asks you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer.
/r: Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Again the disk must be locked.
Sorry, Windows is corrupted beyond repair (you probably have a very nasty malware infection). A fresh full install is mandatory.
And next time use a better antivirus.
Hey i found this great site offering Windows XP Pro, Sp2, Sp3 Keys, here's the link: Working Windows Xp - All Versions Keys
All keys working - tested!!!
Is it possible that you have installed winxp twice? You say that you installed XP Pro sp3 was that an upgrade from xp home? if so then you will need to uninstall one or both versions of XP then install only one.. Make sure you backup any important files first though
This may be because you have the wrong drivers installed- i reccomend starting your computer up in safe mode and using system restore go back to a past restore point before upgrading to SP3
then update your drivers before upgrading to SP3 i reccomend drivermax.com to update drivers.
Its seems that the files required for the bootup process of the windows os have gone bad. try running the windows setup by booting with the windows 98 OS disk.
Well Bart CD that everyone downloads has some nice utilities on it, some free some not.
You have to be carefull using such utilities as they can cause more harm then good...
You now have to reinstall windows before you can apply sp3. Sp3 is not bootable and bart CD doesn't have windows install of any kind on it... Reinstall windows with your disc then browse to your cd and double click on sp3 to update...
Hope everything works out now....
Please rate this solution if it helps... Thank You...
