The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP - boot problems - accessing recovery console

Asked by Trigger747 in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: spywire, boot, console, recovery

I'll explain my entire problem from the start....but the question i have is in the last paragraph...

Last night, i clicked on IE and instead of going to my homepage, it went to some other page and then 4 or 5 seperate windows popped up. Then each of my cd-roms physically opened up and i got an IE pop up window which said something like, "did your cd-roms just open up? If so, you should download SpyWire". My computer then froze and when i tried to boot up again, XP would no longer boot. It gets to the start screen and then the computer just restarts. I tried running safe mode but the same thing happens.

I have win98 also installed on this computer so I booted that up and did a full system virus check with both Norton and AVG. Norton didn't find anything but AVG picked up a handful of viruses and i had them removed/fixed.

What I'm trying to do now is fix the XP boot problems and once I get XP to load, I'll run Norton WinDoctor to fix any registry problems. From my understanding, I have to get into the XP Recovery console to fix the boot problems. My question is how do i get there and what do i do once i get there? I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM first and inserted my winxp cd into the drive and restarted but it didn't work. How else can i get into the recovery console? Is there a file on the xp cd that i could run from DOS to load it up? Can i load it up from win98?

Thanks in advance for the help. :)View the Solution FREE for 30 Days
