Hi Gordon. You have answered your own question pretty well I would say. I
don't know for sure if you can repair windows without a complete reformat. A
problem with the fan or power supply could cause this kind of problem. I
recently bought a PC that had just this problem and had to be returned.
Cheers
Graham

Subject: [access-uk] Booting Difficulties
Hi
My machine at work begins to boot up, gets to a fe seconds of the Windows
setup screen then goes back to the menu highlighting 'start windows normally'.
I'e tried the Safe Mode and Last Known Good Configuration options but I always
get put back to the same menu after a few seconds.
Some of my options ay be:
1. A faulty power supply - I'm not sure the fan is turning - could this give
a partial bootup. It certainly gets through the initial screens OK.
2. Faulty Harddrive, perhaps not closed down right.
3. Windows Software problem caused by a corrupted file. I don't particularly
want to reformat without getting files off, so is there a way of re-loading
Windows without losing current setup, etc. I've tried repairing Windows before
on other machines and seem to go round in circles and eventually have to re
format.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
