Win XP help please (boot probs)If you get 5 mins take a look...thanks in advance

Hi Folks,

Whilst watching a DIVX the other day (fawlty towers!!) The movie and my
system froze. I had to do a cold start reset.

This seems to have corrupted the boot sequence, as with 3 hard drives this
has complicated matters further (for me).

I have been tampering with the Recovery COnsole, especially around the
Bootcfg options, but if I take my had off the keyboard for more than 2 secs,
the system freezes and reboots, or I get a blue screen of death.

The message from the blue screen of death is... are you ready!!!??

*** STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC000000005,0XF76F74FC,0XF7012C4C,0XF7D1294C)

*** USBPORT.SYS-ADDRESS F76F74FE BASE AT F76EC000 DATESTAMP 3D6DDC31


any advice you helpful folks out there can share with me would be gratefully
appreciated.

Many thanks,
Niall

 

Still messing around and the latest addition to the B S OD is
"DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" This appears after launching recovery
console.I am attempting to rebuild the boot.ini .

Thanks again

 

Oh, I never get that...
