When your computer hardware appears to power up okay, but the Windows XP operating system won't boot properly, you have to begin a troubleshooting expedition that includes getting into the operating system, determining the problem, and then fixing it.
To help you get started on this expedition, here are 10 things you can do when Windows XP won't boot. This entry was originally published as an article on January 26, One of the first things you should reach for when troubleshooting a Windows XP boot problem is a Windows startup disk.
This floppy disk can come in handy if the problem is being caused when either the startup record for the active partition or the files that the operating system uses to start Windows have become corrupted.
To create a Windows startup disk, insert a floppy disk into the drive of a similarly configured, working Windows XP system, launch My Computer, right-click the floppy disk icon, and select the Format command from the context menu.
