Laptop won't boot in safe mode... what should I do? (Short of
reinstalling Windows XP)
It can boot with BartPE.. but I don't know what to do with it after
that point.

I might just do a clean install but I thought I would run it through
this ng first... ideas needed please. Thanks!


If it boots with BartPE that indicates there is no hardware problem.
If you have a pukka XP cd available then I'd suggest a repair install.

Read that carefully at least twice before you do anything.
