Cannot boot to XP because of GoBack error
I have a Dell XPS PC running Windows XP SP2 that I am not able to boot up due to a GoBack error. Every time I try to boot the computer, it hangs at the GoBack startup screen, then eventually shows GoBack Failure Code : gb_genlog(175) and asks for a reboot. I found a solution on the Symantec forums, here: http://community.norton.com/t5/Other-Norton-Products/GoBack-Failure-Code-gb-genlog-175/td-p/23227 . When I tried the solution to create a bootable GoBack CD and unhook GoBack from the master boot record, I encountered the same problem as the poster at the above link: I then get GoBack Failure Code : gb_genlog(181) . However, for me the solution to hit Ctrl-Alt-G when booting up did not work. I have tried several times and it does nothing. I can boot the computer from a CD, but then I cannot access the hard drive or uninstall GoBack. I don't care about getting GoBack to work, I just want to get the computer to boot normally again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only one solution was proposed, and mine was easier to implement.
Do one thing download UBCD & then boot from UBCD & take back up of your data on external drive.
Then boot from windows XP CD & repair your OS. If the problem is persist then check reinstall Operating system & then check.
