that crop up in a fallen world. If common sense can be codified (and perhaps error loading operating system windows 7 it can with AI) then it starts with answers to simple questions like: Why? How? What? In this article I'll try to error loading operating system windows xp distill the issues, tools and procedures of troubleshooting Windows XP/2003 boot problems into a small amount of easily digestible information that you as a system administrator can write on the back of a note card or store

in your PDA for easy access when the proverbial poop hits the fan. Let's begin with the Why question. Why do startup problems happen? Windows may fail to start for a variety of reasons, and generally speaking in order of decreasing likelihood here they are: Hardware failure Bad driver Corrupt file or volume System misconfiguration Virus infection Let me elaborate. A common reason systems fail to start is because some element of the system's

hardware has failed. This could range from the simple (someone kicked the power cord out of its socket) to the obvious (smoke emitting from the machine) to the mysterious (something transient that happens only when the moon is full or during sunspot minimum). Next most common is when you update the driver for some piece of hardware (or the BIOS for that matter) and the system won't boot afterwards. After that comes those mysterious messages we'll talk about shortly that usually indicate some key operating system file has somehow become corrupt or gone missing. Misconfiguration is another possible source of boot problems, but this is somewhat rare as in most cases you'll still be able to boot but one or more services may fail to start or your applications may not function as expected. Finally, virus infection can cause a system to fail to boot, but I've listed this in last place because I'm assuming you've got an antivirus solution in place and you're keeping the antivirus signature files updated, right? Now that we know why Windows may fail to start properly, let's ask the logical next question: How can we know which of these underlying causes is the one that might be preventing Windows from successfully booting? How to diagnose startup problems Here is where we need to apply o

Having this problem for some time I http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-2003/Troubleshooting-Startup-Problems.html have been able to do a bit of research on the topic. This problem most often will occur when one is trying to install a new OS, the message will appear during the reboot portion of setup. I, however, had been running this system two years with no prior problems. When this was the case, for other people, the HD was often corrupted, damaged, old. After running several scans on my HD, I ruled out this possibility after failing to find the slightest error. Going http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/error-loading-operating-system.129383/ on the possibility that the Windows installation may be corrupted (Note: I can boot Windows off a floppy disk, made to boot Windows XP) i tried the FixBoot and FixMBR functions on my install disk. No luck. I installed a working version of BartPE on my HD, and I got the same result when I tried to load that instead of Windows, this makes me think that the problem is not with the Windows installation. Just to be on the safe side though, i did a repair installation of Windows, no luck, upon restart I was confronted with the same message. Well, I figured, the problem must be with the BIOS. So I flashed it (the equivalent, in this case, of replacing the current BIOS with an updated version). Well, the new version came with a nice menu for booting options, but it didn't solve my problem, I still received the same error message. I was out of ideas until a ran across a solution. In other cases I found, the BIOS would be reading the HD with the wrong geometry. So if the HD on the BIOS was set to CHC, and the HD should be read as LBA, it would not work. I thought this must be it. I went into BIOS setup and discovered that there were two options: AUTO and LARGE. Currently it was set to AUTO. So I changed to LARGE. And....... it didn't work. I changed it back to AUTO, to no avail. So I
