i've seen alot of topics on people not being able to do certain things with the rescue disc but i can't do ANYTHING. my problem with my compaq presario windows xp desktop is i was on the net one day and all of a sudden got a pop up talkin bout a corrupt file. don't ask me what file cuz i dont remember. restarted my computer and ever since whenever i start it up it gets past the compaq screen to the windows screen with the sliding blue bar and then restarts whether i choose safe mode, last known good config or whatever. so i get the rescue disc, put it in n start it, i go into the boot menu and select the cd rom which then sends me right back to the safe mode screen and again no matter what option i select it gets to the windows start up screen and then restarts again. i can get into the dos prompt screen but it only allows me to type in 1 character, none of which do anything. i've managed to get to the screen where i can select windows recovery console which then does a scan but finds nothing and then i have to manually restart. this is all very frustrating
