You fucking idiot.

When posting for help it's best to give all the info needed. Does the screen read "NTLDR Is Missing". If so make or download a boot disk to repair your boot.ini files.

Thanks for your help come again soon?

Okay here I`ll type everything that is shown so everyone can understand it well,

We apologize for the inconvenience,but Windows did not start succesfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly,or was automatically shut down to protect your filed and folders,choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.

If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed,or if you aren`t sure what caused the problem,choose Start Windows Normally.

Safe Mode Safe Mode with Networking Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)

Start Windows Normally

Use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight to your choice

No matter what I choose,it flashes a blue screen quickly,restarts,and goes back to the Black Screen with white letters described previously

No seriosuly; How the fuck do you expect anyone here to help when all you say is "My computer stopped working"?

You're either very lazy or extremely stupid

• My guess is the last one.

Oh and it uses Microsoft Windows XP Professional

System restore.

Do you have your original xp disk. If so enter the recovery console and run chkdsk.

OH FFS, is that your Mysterious blackscreen with whiteletters?

What the fuck are you doing on a computer security forum? Learn to use a freakin' computer first.

As of the problem, I'm pretty sure no one here can help you without knowning what the bluescreen says unless they got some psychic powers.

It never camed with any Cd`s.It was meant to have internal system restore.But,I never made the Disks.

For shits sakes now!I cant even read it damnit!It flashes for like a second then my computer restarts!What,am I supposed to slow down time or something.Fuck it!

When getting an error message and asking for help you should always post the error message, preferably the entire one but at least the most significant part.

This is probably one of the most annoying things I hear:

-I was using my computer the other day and some error message popped up. Can you help me? -What did it say? -I don't know.

Anyway, back on topic. Did it say "disk boot failure, insert system disk"? It happened to me once, and the problem was that a SATA cable wasn't entirely plugged in. Happened over night, hadn't opened or moved the computer for months. If you get this error and it isn't the cable, try finding the harddrive in BIOS. If that doesn't work either, your harddrive might be damaged.

Yes, Moshbat suck.

So do you; He prolly said the same shit as me.

You lack knowledge, skill and intelligence; Your 1337 mentor ain't cool. Neither are you.

Im a 12 year old,who loves computers looking to learn.And Im doing everything I can to learn.Ill just do what Im told and not pay attention to the assholes I meet in life.I`ll keep trying to learn.

And I just want you to think about the time when you didnt know a thing about computers.See how you would feel.

Here is what I found in the BIOS

-Hard Disk Drive TOSHIBA MK8025GAS-(PM)

Aright I'm feeling helpful today, Since your new and all. Go here: http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm Download the image and make a boot disk, It will run just like your original disk. Then you can enter the recovery console.

Thanks,I`ll try that

Just to ad for everyone, The reason your BSOD flashes and restarts is because it's set to automatically restart by default. In the startup and recovery properties you should always uncheck automatically restart, That way you can see the BSOD and get some insight.
