Was reformatting my pc with xp when it paused half way and frooze. Now when ever I turn it back on it says restarting setup, goes into setup and restarts itself, it keeps on doing this now, what can I do?! :cry2:

If so, i had same thing and my whole thing got killed nothing would work anymore even system restore thats build in i had warranty so i got a whole new one.

He said he reformatted so setup probly means the installation.

I dunno, never had this happen to me

what i am thinking is that there was an error half way through the installation and reformatting was done unsuccessfully :(

Try sticking in a boot disk and formatting your computer again.

When I was messing around with partitions and installing Windows 2000, I messed up somewhere and couldn't get anything to boot. I used the Windows 95 boot disk and ran fdisk from that to restore all my partitions. Then I installed Windows 2000 after that.

When you start the reformat and you are in dos type format C:\s and then fdisk.
