627034 2008-01-03 10:02:00 Hello members
I have discovered that I can't boot in safe mode.:horrified OS;xp pro, SP2
It comes to a blue screen and says;" a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down.....
Otherwise (normal booting)is all working without a problem!.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to what the problem is?

Thanks

627036 2008-01-03 20:27:00 Look in event viewer, what does it say?

And what else does the BSOD say?? Anything about a file or driver?

If so run CHKDSK
If you can get into windows ( normal mode ) just type chkdsk at the run command.

I've found this problem several times on PC's ( XP ) that wont boot and crash to the stop screen or continually reboot.

Its usually a bad sector issue ( impending hard disk failure )

Thanks for your efforts!
As I had discovered the boot into safe mode failure I read on the net of solving this by going through msconfig/boot.ini and check safeboot. What I didn't know was that if I do that and if that is not working I am stuck, and that was exactly the result.
Blue screen with: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down....
"...Stop ox0000007B oxf789E528 oxC0000034... "
I did run chkdsk through recoverey console, also fixmbr and fixboot; none of them helped.
I searched on the net from another PC and found info at MS and it looked like I would have a registry problem.
Anyway, at last I had a Ghost backup that was only 10 days old so I did a restore and am back now.
I have not checked yet if I can run safe mode and will check the info at MS as for the registry.

Have you changed anything recently? Like hardware?

Thanks pctek
No not that I can recall. Except USB drives for backup but that should not have any effect.
I will check that MS page re the registry and post here later on.
