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 error loading os windows xp 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.

Error loading operating system message when booting Windows Vista ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ John Howard -MSFTDecember 27, 200610 0 0 0 lá»—i error loading os I was faced this morning with a few dilemmas… First, several inches of windows server 2003 linux snow. Now, just for the record, my idea of fun is absolutely not driving in snow wherever possible having windows server 2003 software totalled a car many years ago in black ice. No problem, I'll work from home on my work laptop. So I popped upstairs to get the laptop out of it's case http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles-tutorials/windows-2003/Troubleshooting-Startup-Problems.html having been stored away for the last few days over Christmas. Hello… the bag seems a little light. Aargh. Yes, I left it in the office. No worries - I'll install another partition on my main home machine, VPN back to work and set it up to join the Microsoft corp domain. (Although you can VPN from a machine joined to my https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/jhoward/2006/12/27/error-loading-operating-system-message-when-booting-windows-vista/ home domain, IPSec gets a little upset at some things, so having a seperate partition domain joined is a lot simpler). My home machine is running Windows Vista. I figured I really didn't need Vista for work stuff as basically everything I was likely to do from home is connecting to remote machines in my office or browsing the Intranet. So… I went with XP for the work partition. There comes my first mistake. Of course, knowing that the boot loader setup is very different between Vista and XP, and you should consult the knowledgebase to learn how to re-install the Vista boot loader. KB 919529 has the information - Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system. Easy, so I thought. Nothing can possibly go wrong. So the XP install was now prompting me to reboot, but the setup itself wouldn't restart following the first reboot - I can't recall the specific error but am fairly certain it's the same one I had problems with all the way through - namely "Error loading operating system".

Having this problem for some time I 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, error loading os damaged, old. After running several scans on my HD, I ruled out this possibility after failing to find the slightest error. Going 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
