I have a Dell Dimension 2400. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I have recently started having the white cursor upon boot up. I looked at the post down the board and tried the sfc /scannow but when it ask me for the Windows disc. I use the one from Dell and it says it is the wrong disk. I went into the Registry and tried to use C:\ as the source disc and that wouldn’t work. I then booted from my cd and was going to do a repair and the white cursor came up. I am wits end. HELP!!!!

How did you get into the Registry if you can't boot? Are you able to boot to Safe Mode? If you can, try running System Restore and restore to a date prior to when your problem occured.
