Windows Xp - Blank Welcome Screen
Boggin:
That was a read-only mode report - you need to execute a chkdsk /r which will check the HDD for bad sectors and repair as it scans.
dondon:
I tried Chkdsk /r even chkdsk /f .No filles detected.Pls read above before posting
Boggin:
The chkdsk in read-only mode had found file corruption which was why it said it was unable to continue.
You can post the output of a chkdsk /r as I've described in Reply #7.
If you have a XP CD you can also run a sfc /scannow as already suggested http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
dondon:
I cant run sfc /scannow because it requires the original CD.I tried to work around it by making bootable win USB based on the images suggested above.It will ask me for orginal CD which ufourtunately i don not posses.
Boggin:
As you are unable to repair the volume, perhaps the machine has a Recovery partition so that you can factory reset, but first you need to find the condition of the HDD.
Download the first Trial/Free Version for HD Sentinel to see what the Overview gives for your HDD http://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php
Uninstalling it after use will stop the clock on the trial period so that you can use it again later if need be.
