martwisely Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Recently got a laptop at weekend and its been working fine up until tonight. I was in the adding programs and documents to it when the whole thing came up with this blue screen with writing all over it. So i did what it said to try and restart it which i did but now it is just coming up with a screen Loading pbr2.... done... Then nothing happens afterwards! Any idea how i can start it off in safe mode? Cheers for any help.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 I think you need to press f8 on boot up to start Windows in safe mode if I remember correctly. And I can't remember if you can run CHKDSK in safe mode. Worth a try though. Is the laptop new or 2nd hand?
martwisely Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Hey thanks for the replys folks. Have found out what to do. Turns out that Windows Xp has corrupted. So i now have to go find the Xp disc and reinstall Xp or the get boot disc !! But i havent got the boot Disc here. Its at my sisters as it used to be her laptop. lol Edited October 30, 2007 by martwisely
