Long time reader, first time poster!
My friend has a Dell Inspiron, WinXP SP2, which had a bizarre problem with IE7 not working. I uninstalled it, but Windows would not boot.
I then booted from my WinXP Home SP3 CD, and repaired the install.
The machine is now stuck in a loop of booting, saying setup is restarting system, getting passed the Windows logo and showing a cursor, then BSOD and restart.
Loading the recovery console, I have run chkdsk (overnight - took hours!), repaired all errors - same problem.
Any ideas how I can correct it?
Could it have been because I used an SP3 CD to repair an SP2 install?
