[Orph]

Hi

i just had some problems with partition table, i fixed it than i had the ntldr error, fixed that too

But now when i boot, my PC is stuck in the blue welcome screen

even the names don't show up, there is only Windows XP Professional and the logo

What must i do?

Would you care to tell us what changes you made to your Windows XP cd?

Did you use nLite, is it a Multi-Boot disc, do you use the DriverPacks, do you...

[tarquel]

Can you boot into Safe Mode?

If so, and you can get into it, you could try this (you most likely will need your windows xp cd also):

- choose [start] and [Run]

- type in:

sfc /scannow

and click ok.

This should check the system files and restore any that are corrupt.

This may not help at all, but its a start

Welcome to MSFN too

nlite?

no for what should i used it?

i just used partition magic to change something in the partitions an he made the partition table again so that was solved, fot the ntldr i just used my XP cd and did fixboot and cope ntldr and ntdetect.com then i replaced the boot.ini

and now i'm here stuck in welcome screen

and safemode doesn't work it's stuck there too

any other suggestions? what about that nlite?

You probably have more messed up with your computer that you can't see behind that login screen.

Do you happen to have Recovery Console installed? If so, can it read your drive?

[tarquel]

its worth a shot at that.

The fixboot / fixmbr commands spring to mind

use with caution though - for all we know, you might have a multi-OS setup lol if so, post that before trying stuff as you don't wanna render the lot useless

just my two cents.
