WINDOWS RESTARTING AGAIN & AGAIN

Fed up with endless POSTing while trying to boot on to Windows. You are being presented with the Boot option menu, where it is asking you to select starting in-

and after selecting any of these without even a warning restarting. Here is a small solution, you may try.

Again we will have to use Recovery Console. Select CD-drive as your first boot device in BIOS. Insert the Windows XP CD in your Drive and restart the machine. you will be prompted to 'Press any key to boot from CD'. After pressing any of the keys, the Setup drivers will load and finlly you will be greeted with a screen as follows:-

Press R and proceed further. You will be prompted to select your OS Drive. Normally you enter '1' provided your OS is loaded in the C Drive. Now you will be prompted to enter your PC's local Administrator Password and after entering it you will reach to a Command Prompt C:\WINDOWS>

Here you will have to type the command FIXBOOT and enter. (This command writes a new boot sector onto your PC's system partition). Accept the warnings or confirmations. You will be prompted to restart your PC or simply type EXIT to restart. The next time your PC must boot normally. Try this and let me know.

If still the problem persists, follow the same route and Try FIXMBR instead of FIXBOOT to get your Master Boot Record repaired. This is a bit risky one as Microsoft says there is a chance of getting your Hard Drive Unusable. But I have tried this and worked well with me in more than 50 cases.
