Hi.

I have recently moved my PC from one room to another and after reconnecting all devices I have tryed to turn it on. But it goes to the 'windows shut down unexpectedly....' and offers me to load in different moads. I have tried all of them. Safe moads just dont load after uploading several files. Windows normally and in last known configuration goes to the loading screen and than flashes blue screen (too fast to read) and restarts.

I am unsure what to do.
Also, the problem is i can not find my recovery CD and not sure if the problem could be solved without it.

So I was wondering if that could be solved without the cd and if not am i able to obtain another recovery cd.

I am really looking forward to your help.
Many thanks
Hanna

Hi shumchyk ...welcome to Geeks To Go... :)
If you do not have a windows xp disk, download the following file: rc.iso....from here..then run chkdsk /r
from the rc.iso cd...be sure the bios is set to boot from the cd drive first...

go here and get burncdcc ..a small FAST no frills iso burning program...

NOTE...do not put a blank cd in until burncdcc opens the tray for you
1. Start BurnCDCC by clicking on BurnCDCC.exe
2. Browse to the ISO file you want to burn on cd/dvd ....in this case its rc.iso
3. Select the ISO file
4. click on Start

make sure in the bios the cd drive is the first boot device....put the cd in the cd drive..boot your computer....when you get to the screen that gives you the option to install or repair ...select r...then when you get to the prompt...type in chkdsk /r..press enter

NOTE THE SINGLE SPACE BEFORE THE /
While chkdsk is running you will see a light blue window with a dark blue band at the top and bottom. or a black dos box depending on on which cd you use... a Chkdsk will display the specific stage it is checking as well as the percentage of completion of the stage....
there are 5 stages...it may appear to hang at a certain % for a hour or more...it even will sometimes go back over a area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER OR YOU CAN HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS...it can take a long time depending on how large the drive is...
You cannot do anything else on your computer while chkdsk is running. When chkdsk is finished, it will automatically reboot your computer....
