MasterChief63:
my friend asked if i could fix his laptop, this message pops up when booting up windows xp, prior to entry of Username and Password for Admin/User/Guest accounts and after pressing ok it goes through to windows, i tried antivirus and antispyware, but to no avail, tried repairing windows but ddnt work, finally we reinstalled a fresh Windows copy on drive C:\ overwriting everything on C:\WINDOWS and after that the message was gone

follow up question, on installing Windows XP Media Center Ed, why does formating destination drive of NEW WINDOWS installation only erase/overwrite C:\Windows but retains the contents of the drive, anyone who has experienced win xp media ed installation pls answer if u know  laffman::

vrian:

hominidko:

MasterChief63:

It's only you who knows the real score, you didn't specify the exact pop-up message or even posted a log or something that we can use to analyze your problem.

I suggest giving us a bit of information that leads to the exact situation happened to your friend's laptop would be a great help.

Guessing is not the application in solving technical issues.

Note: Fresh installation means, it does include formating the hard drive. Overwriting Installation, you are only creating a New Copy of windows (with an option to over-write the original system location, C:\Windows by default)
