i'm running on safe mode w/ networking. this afternoon after my gf turned off the sony vaio laptop, i turned it back on after 10min.... i type in the windows xp login password under her username and it acts like it's going to load for like 5 seconds... then all of a sudden, it restarts... it does that repeatedly... i tried to restore the last good known setting when i press f8, but it's still not working.
i also used the recovery by going through start, help and support, and using the recovery wizard to recover it back to sunday but it also doesn't work... i tried to use my friend's windows xp install disc to do the bootup and recovery by pressing "R" at the prompt but it doesn't seem to be working... it just jumps straight to the c:windows prompt (dos)
what shall i do? any help is appreciated!
*i have also scanned adaware, spybot, and doing the norton computer scan... but nothing showed up
