Title: desk boot failure
Post by: chrischubbs on July 31, 2006, 08:54:21 PM

Im running windows xp pro, I just formatted my computer & for some reason it will only boot up by using the xp cd. I was woundering if anyone may have an anwser?
When I start my computer I get a black screen that says desk boot failure, no luck getting windows to start unless I reset using xp desk then it works fine untill I restart or shut down again.  ::)

What happens exactly if the CD is not in there?
