Hi, can someone help me? I have a MSI Motherboard V-Class desktop running Windows XP, it restarts repeatedly on startup after I switched boot mode to Safe Mode in msconfig. Now it showing floppy disk (40) ［sometimes floppy disk (40)one］and give me 2 options:f1 to continue , DEL to enter setup. I chose f1, I also tried to load most recent working settings.

I had tried the load defaults in BIOS but it didn't solve the problem, someone help me please 😭

Boot your computer into BIOS and disable floppy disk if you are not using it. Also make sure to place the hard disk drive where Windows installed top of all boot devices it need to be first boot device.

Hi FreeBooter, thanks for your reply, but it didn't solve my problem...
