HP Compaq nx9010 Windows XP Pro, shows message to start windows on safe mode,etc.I have done all the posibilities with no results.Everytime it comes back to the same dialogue.After entering safe mode or start windows normally ,shuts down inmediately after showing a short blue screen that you can't read and tries to reboot on windows again. ????

I'm no XP expert because I dont believe in that level of " Microsoft software for Idiots" and I dont use it, but I would guess, start at a registry problem. Especially since XP has more registry entries than the mind can conceive.

Fix from HP recovery disk: This is a pretty skimpy HP knowledge base for such a complex task??????

Fix from full version XP: "DO NOT DO THIS IF RUNNING HP ORIGINAL XP LOAD"

You may want to link this question to the Operating Systems / WIN XP lists for more XP help??

Can you boot successfully from a floppy disk or a bootable CD?

I had exactly the same situation on my Dell Lattitude 505: safe mode, blue screen - reboot.
Only tool which was helpful - Winternals Admin Pack. I booted my PC with this tool and transfered all data to the server (via LAN) and then I have reformated my PC and install it from the scratch.

I would reccomend you to try any recovering software and then - re-format your PC and install XP again. If you don't have this software - try to take HDD off the notebook and connect it to the desktop via adaptor (you can buy it on the Ebay or local stores)

Good luck!

I can't boot from floppy or disk, I am refering the problem to OS guys.
