Problem starting Windows Operating System

This problem can occur if:

1) Default value of the boot.ini file is wrong or missing.

2) XP is not installed properly.

3) Some problem with your hardware.

4) boot.ini not containing proper partition path.

There are several ways to resolve this issue:

1) You have to edit the boot.ini file with the proper & accurate default value.

2) Run the recovery console & try to use boot configure utility 

3) After starting your computer go to BIOS settings & run the DSKCHK service, that can fix your problem.

I try to solve your problem, if any more help needed please let me know.

Thank you

Best Regards

Problem starting Windows Operating System

When the Start Files in the operating system have problems, these errors will appear, therefore the solution is to install a new operating system.

If this error occurs again, it is recommended that ask a hardware technician for help.
