Can't boot my system

what error are you getting now??

because there are other commands that can be run such as fixboot and fixmbr

No errors, just the same thing. When i boot, it leads me to the menu with safe mode, last good known config, start normally and whatever i choose i tries to load and then restart.

 

And i didnt do check disk from command prompt, neither from start menu, but by these steps : my computer-properties on disk c-tools-error cheking-check both boxes and it runs in 4-5 phases.

 

now you need to get to the recovery console and run fixboot, and if that is not successful then run fixmbr

fixboot c:

now fixmbr will put a new boot.ini, see example:

A typical simple example

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Example with Recovery Console as an option

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons

Sorry, been busy. I tried both fixboot and fixmbr, doesnt resolve my issue -or problem, which is correct one-? Well, i think my step would be to borrow or buy SP3 and try repair, and if that fails too, then reinstalling only C: partition?

 

either one is correct, and it does not hurt to do both, I would reinstall before doing a repair.

but this may be a hardware problem if the fixes have not worked.
