After a power breakdown, my computer restarted and after the xp boot screen, i see a blue screen for a sec and it is restarting again and again. none of the f8 functions work.

Some hardware has failed! I guess it may be SMPS or RAM. Check it out.

i don't think it's a hardware problem. otherwise i would have not seen the xp loading screen. i think there is a problem with the boot record of xp in my hdd. how can i repair it?

You need to repair the whole windows installation. I hope you have the Windows XP cd and know how to go about reinstalling or repairing the installation. I suspect some system file might have got corrupt as your laptop turned off suddenly during a process. Try reinstalling I would suggest.

Had a similar problem. Solved only by reinstallation. You can try repairing using your XP cd, though.

Oh God! He isn't taling about the BSOD! He's talking about the Blue Screen that says 'Welcome' when you boot XP!

Best choice is reinstall XP on that partition

or u can try WinXp repair wizard

for repairing

boot ur PC from CD-ROM using WinXP boot disk
it will ask for Installation or repair
choose repair
and follows steps

hope ur XP got recovered

but better choice is go for a reinstallation

use safemode to boot to ur system and then Restore Back to a previous save point....

Even if this doesnt help you then use "Last known good configuration"

the thing is i don't wanna format cause i formatted just two days ago and i hav installed a lot of stuff. I have already told u ppl that i have tried all the safe mode and lkgf stuff but nothing works. when i repair a command prompt pops up and i don't know the exact commands to type. I am not a noob. i have experienced the real blue screen and had had to replace the cmos chip two times.
