Hello,

I just got a BSOD and I am unable to get Windows XP to boot up. The actual error happens after mup.sys Even to get to the Recovery console I need to be able to get past the initial Boot procedure. Right?

I also tried copying some other third party fixes on to a CD to try booting it up from there. No Success.

I am not sure what else I can do to fix this issue. I did say F12 and changed a few things in the BIOS setup menu based on other solutions and it seems like I am not addressing this issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Does it blue screen, when loading windows in normal mode and hang at mup.sys in Safe Mode.

If you cannot get anything at all in normal startup - even a BSOD, then insert the XP CD. a enter BIOS and set boot priority to the CD drive as first device.
Load the recovery console - that is To repair windows using the recovery console press R.

It will more than likely ask for a password. This is the admin password, not necessarily the password you use to enter windows.
TRY it blank first.
If not try any passwords you have for windows.
