Well, i just can't turn on my pc/user/whatever.
It doesn't work even in Safe Mode :|
I had this message before, but i still could use computer after pressing yes/no (tak/nie).
Any help? D: <no such option as reinstall/format>

Uh, this looks bad. :|

Try booting from your Windows CD and then let it repair the installation.
According to this website I googled you have to press Install and then it will detect an existing installation and offers you the option to repair it.
Do no try the recovery console as it seems to do something else that is not repairing. Is what this site says.

Good luck!

You could try pressing F8 before windows XP boot screen and pick the last known good configuration. Mostly it does fuck all, but sometimes it works wonders.

You can rebuild your boot with the windows 7 CD after you re-installed windows XP.

The error your getting almost looks like a failed WPA patch (windows activation crack).

My Dvdrom stopped working ;|
I'll try to fix that tomorrow, but-
now it works in safe mode, but when im trying to turn it on in safe mode with internet connection, im having this blank error again.

So after this repair option it should be working fine? Or i'll have to format partition with Windows XP D:

If you can access save mode try creating a new user profile, then reboot and try logging into that newly created user profile.

format windows gooooood.
Fixes all problems and Speedup gooood.

But for real if it (xp)has been running for more than half a year just reinstall.
Copy past the content from your desktop to a save place,
make a backup of your firefox and thunderbird files (google how to do it) and your document folder

Than for fun make two partitions:
one for windows and programs (100 gigish, more if you install lost of big programs)
And a partition for Your documents and content.

After a reinstall change the target of your documents folder (right click/properties)
copy paste the thunderbird and firefox backup and your desktop and you are ready to go again.
5 hours.
If you are pro you could make a image of your windows partition but then you could install Linux to but who would want to do that.

Same xp install after 2 years with changing most of my hardware, runs fine.
