If this works then there may be a driver or hardware conflict.<BR /><BR />If you are unable to boot in ‘Safe Mode’ then I suggest a system recovery using either your CD/DVD media or the HDDR (tap F10 at boot to access this). Be aware that a system recovery will format the C drive – I trust that you have a data backup?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 17:20:07 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/windows-can-not-start/m-p/37655#M79221 rich912 2007-04-06T17:20:07Z
