My laptop which is now 3 yrs old is CONSTANTLY rebooting. It acts as if it is going to fully load Windows XP, but then starts the reboot phase all over again. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I am unable to use the CD recovery due to 1-not having the CD anymore, and 2- my CD drive not working. Please, is there anything I can do to make my Laptop fully load windows XP

Dear friend the problem is really very very common problem.

Generally system restarts suddenly due to OS (here Windows XP) problem, RAM proble, SMPS problem - but here definitely the restart is due to OS problem and you must re-install Windows XP. And for that you must need a CD/DVD drive or writer. Please buy/collect an external optical drive(CD/DVD/CDW/DVDW) - and re-install or repair the OS.

N.B.- 1. Many times we found in the process of installing Windows XP the partition containg Windows XP damaged logically - so you must re-install OS.

FOR ADVANCED USERS
----------------------------------
If the partition is lost and you are facing this restart problem - you may recover the partition - and before you may use Knoppix linux CD to recover the valued documents. then you remove the HDD from Laptop and run data/partition recovery software in another hard disk attaching this faulty HDD there. You may recover the partition and autometically the restart problem will be solved.

I think I have given you all possibl;e suggetions - please try very carefully - and you may recover the documents also.
