Windows will not boot. Computer keeps restarting. Will not boot in safe mode or from cd. help please

have a Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103 laptop. I tried changing the order in BIOS to boot windows from cd but still no luck. When it first happened it would take me to my desktop only explorer wouldnt load and it gave errors about explorer image not available or something like that so i believe its a registry problem, however I cannot get my computer to boot from CD to repair this. What do i need to do?



it will not boot in any mode, safe or normal. how do i reformat the hard drive from setup? i cant boot off of any cd, it just shows windows starting up then restarts

Leave it in the boot from cd mode in your bios, and then try the following to perform a "repair" installation.



REPAIRING OR REINSTALLING WINDOWS XP



Turn your PC on and insert the Windows XP disk into the CD/DVD drive.



Reboot/restart the PC. This will cause the PC to boot from the XP disk and not the hard drive..



Allow the PC to run the boot up sequence. It will stop at a 鈥渂lack and white鈥?screen and there will be an option to select a 鈥渞epair鈥?installation or a 鈥渇ull鈥?installation.



NOTE:



If you simply want to repair/fix any and all corrupted and/or problem XP files select the 鈥渞epair鈥?option. This will only rewrite the XP files and will not affect any of your personal files or software on your PC.



If you want to Format the hard drive and rebuild it completely select the 鈥渇ull鈥?installation option. Be aware that with this option you will 鈥渆rase鈥?all the files and software on that hard drive.



Select either the 鈥渞epair鈥?or 鈥渇ull鈥?installation option and simply let the software run. Follow any onscreen prompts that may appear, especially during the 鈥渇ull鈥?installation.



Hope this helps.
