I've tried using all options but I still can't get into Windows as it reboots itself. Hope someone could help me on this matter. Thanks in advance. Miss Sarah ,. Do you see any error message displayed before it reboots? If so, post it here. There is a chance this won't work, but we'll get to it if that's the case.

My kids told me what was happening and I've been unable to fix it since. Best of my knowledge, no updates, or patches. Can you go into Safe Mode with Command Prompt?
If you can, log in as Administrator or an account with Administrator priviledges and type fsutil dirty set c: in the command window.
Keep in mind that you get only one shot with the Last Known Good Configuration feature. In other words, if it fails to revive your Windows XP on the first attempt, the backup copy is also corrupt. System Restore runs in the background as a service and continually monitors system-critical components for changes. When it detects an impending change, System Restore immediately makes backup copies, called restore points, of these critical components before the change occurs.
In addition, System Restore is configured by default to create restore points every 24 hours. Now, select the Safe Mode item from the menu and press [Enter]. Then, follow along with the wizard to select a restore point and begin the restoration procedure.
When a Windows XP boot problem is severe, you'll need to use a more drastic approach. So if there's a problem rooted in the Boot. If you suspect that Windows XP won't boot because Boot. The partition boot sector is a small section of the hard disk partition that contains information about the operating system's file system NTFS or FAT32 , as well as a very small machine language program that is crucial in assisting the operating system as it loads. If you suspect that Windows XP won't boot because the partition boot sector has been corrupted, you can use a special Recovery Console tool called Fixboot to fix it.
The master boot record occupies the first sector on the hard disk and is responsible for initiating the Windows boot procedure. The master boot record contains the partition table for the disk as well as a small program called the master boot code, which is responsible for locating the active, or bootable, partition, in the partition table. Once this occurs, the partition boot sector takes over and begins loading Windows.
THe problem is that whenever i try to restart it reboots the PC over and over again. Sometimes it shows the black screen saying safe mode, start windows normally, bla bla i already tried every option, even the one that says start with the last good configuration, and the problem persists. Im starting to believe the origin of this problem is related to the hard disk Thanks again. Last edited: Nov 16, Windows XP on a 12 years old Hard Drive?
How big is this drive and how full is it? What make is it? This will cause a BSOD on next failure with an error message of the form stop 0xyyy plus maybe some words. Post this. This time you will probably have to kill the power to stop the machine, but it will be not cause further damage. This one has 7 years, 20gb and im using 12gb. I unchecked the reboot on system failure, and it happened again with no BSOD, its hilarious, i must be the only unlucky guy with this problem lol.
Please lets recap on the information we have. To help determine if this is the case, try the steps below. If the computer doesn't reboot after idling in BIOS and you've tried the other solutions above, try activating a restore point in Windows before the problem started to occur. If activating a previous restore point does not work, or there are no restore points available to activate, you likely need to reinstall Microsoft Windows.
Why does Windows restart without warning? Tip This page is for computers that are restarting by themselves, not computers that turn off and remain off.
Caution Some of the steps below require you to open your computer. Note If this is a laptop computer , there is often a fan on one of the sides of the laptop.
