XP won't start in normal or safe mode after BSOD

[typhoeus]

I didn't think you would, I'm just paranoid about things like error messages and warnings.  I like complete confirmation.  Thank you so much for helping me.  I'll try it immediately.

Question:  What do I do after that, and if it gets me in, then what?  Uninstall Macdrive?

After that remove the XP CD and re-boot...hit F8 repeatedly as it's powering up to enter safemode.
Then use Add/Remove to get rid of MacDrive.
Then buy a Mac if you want the Mac experience.

I have a Mac.  I wanted my PC to recognize my Ipod as a drive.  You didn't read the description of Macdrive did you?

I booted into safe mode successfully, but in add/remove programs when trying to remove Macdrive, it said:

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This can occur because you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.  Contact your support personnel for assistance.

Since you are, I did.

I would still follow the steps in the post above...
Then re-boot and re-install the MacDrive software after Visiting Here...

So I do not need to uninstall Macdrive before doing a repair install?  Is it necessary to re-install Macdrive after the repair install?  I do not really need it I suppose.

You can do it either way...
Keep in mind i'm not trying to discourage you from using MacDrive...it may just be a funky install...but it's related to when you started having issues.

I was just experimenting. You haven't discouraged me from using it, it has.  I'll try the repair install now.  Thanks for the help.
