Hello Friends
your computer was restarting again and again. Actuly your computer is not
shutdown properly and window xp restarting
unpredictably when booting but i have to find the answer. i went to his home
and found that when switching on the cpu it showed the Windows xp logo and option
came like safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking
prompt, start window normally etc.
Safe mode or
start with command promt also not working on his machine. So It could not reach
the desktop and any of the option selected the process restarts again and
again. I was not getting any error message on the screen, it just reboot from
the windows loading screen again and again.
After some
branistorming and using Windows XP recovery console finally i have resolved the
problem and windows started working again without formatting. So below is a
solution which you can try if your windows xp is restarting unexpectedly again
and again.
Solution for Windows xp restarting again and
again
You need to start
the Windows recovery console from the 1) Windows XP CD-ROM by inserting a
Windows XP CD into your CD drive or 2) you can start with preinstalled Windows
Recovery Console if you have already available, but in most of the cases you
have to use option 1.
If you have not
preinstalled the Windows Recovery Console, you can start the computer and use
the Recovery Console directly from your original Windows XP installation disc.
If your computer is already in Windows and you want to add the Windows Recovery
Console as a startup option, go to the next section “Adding the Windows
Recovery Console as a startup option.”
- Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options required to start (boot) from the CD (it will basically first show you the message like “Press any key to boot from CD … Press any keyboard key to enter in recovery and fresh installation console ).
- When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recover option by pressing R.

- Now type “fixboot” and press Enter. It will ask you for “Are you sure you want to write a new bootsector to the partition?” just type “Y” and press enter again.
- Once above command executed successfully just Restart your machine and see if your windows starting properly or not.
(By doing all
above things your windows should start normally but if it doesn’t follow the
following steps as per your requirement and configuration)
- If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
- When you are prompted, type the Administrator password.
- At the command prompt, type Recovery Console commands, and then you can refer to the commands that are listed in the “Available commands within Windows Recovery Console” section.
- At any time, you can type Help for a list of available commands.
- At any time, you can type Help commandname for help on a specific command. For example, you can type help attrib to display the help on the attributes command.
- At any time, you can exit Windows Recovery Console by typing Exit at the command line.
Below
are some commands which can help you during Windows XP Recovery process.
CHKDSK
chkdsk drive /p /r
The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it. The command also marks any bad sectors and it recovers readable information.
chkdsk drive /p /r
The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it. The command also marks any bad sectors and it recovers readable information.
You can use the
following options:
/p Does an exhaustive check of the drive and corrects any errors.
/r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
Note If you specify the /r option, the /p option is implied. When you specify the chkdsk command without arguments, the command checks the current drive with no options in effect.
/p Does an exhaustive check of the drive and corrects any errors.
/r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
Note If you specify the /r option, the /p option is implied. When you specify the chkdsk command without arguments, the command checks the current drive with no options in effect.
When you run the chkdsk
command, you must use the Autochk.exe file. CHKDSK automatically locates this
file in the startup folder. If the Command Console was preinstalled, the
startup folder is typically the Cmdcons folder. If CHKDSK cannot find
Autochk.exe in the startup folder, CHKDSK tries to locate the Windows
installation disc. If it cannot find the installation media, CHKDSK prompts you
for the location of the Autochk.exe file.
FIXBOOT
fixboot drive name:
Use this command to write the new Windows boot sector code on the system partition. In the command syntax, drive name is the drive letter where the boot sector will be written. This command fixes damage in the Windows boot sector. This command overrides the default setting, which writes to the system boot partition. The fixboot command is supported only on x86-based computers.

This command fixes damage in the Windows boot sector. This command overrides the default setting, which writes to the system boot partition. The fixboot command is supported only on x86-based computers.
FIXMBR
fixmbr device name
Use this command to repair the MBR of the boot partition. In the command syntax, device name is an optional device name that specifies the device that requires a new MBR. Use this command if a virus has damaged the MBR and Windows cannot start.
fixmbr device name
Use this command to repair the MBR of the boot partition. In the command syntax, device name is an optional device name that specifies the device that requires a new MBR. Use this command if a virus has damaged the MBR and Windows cannot start.
Warning This command can damage your
partition tables if a virus is present or if a hardware problem exists. If you
use this command, you may create inaccessible partitions. We recommend that you
run antivirus software before you use this command.
You can obtain
the device name from the output of the map command. If you do not specify a
device name, the MBR of the boot device is repaired, for example:
fixmbr
deviceharddisk2
If the fixmbr
command detects an invalid or non-standard partition table signature, fixmbr
command prompts you for permission before it rewrites the MBR. The fixmbr command is supported only on x86-based
computers.
Hope above
knowledge will help you and your windows healthy
