hi all!
I'm having serius trouble with my winxp...
First of all its a dual booting system ( a 40Gb hd IDE- which is the one i'm using now and currently logged in as windows xp- and another 80Gb HD allways with windows xp but sata.... cables are fine! it worked fine 'till 2hours ago!!) and in second place the rest of the cfg is below in green as member signature.
The problem is that windows, on the sata drive won't boot at all! at prompt (where i can choose which os to boot works fine...i checked boot.ini and looks perfect...) no problems, but when i choose to load windows on the sata hd a screen appeares telling me that the system hasn't been properely loaded last time and I can choose if i want to boot in windows normally or try the last working configuration ecc... but if i choose to load win normally a black screen would appear whith nothing else happening and if i press any button the system would reboot. If i try to load the last working configuration an error message would tell me that some windows/system/vga850.fon file is missing or is damaged. I checked in Microsofts kb and it said it is a font problem, but it only affects windows 98. So i tryed to copy the .fon file from the windows xp install disk and i only found "vga850.fo_" so i copyed it to the windows/system/ folder and nothing changed, then i changed the extension to .fon, but i obtained no results. I then checked the hd with nav 2004 ( after having updated the virus definitons), but no vir were found. at last i checked the hd for errors and nothing was found. I'm really in trouble....
thanks a lot.
cheers,
