help with crash

[seperatist]

i am using XP Home and i was playing a game and my comp shut down and tried to restart. it has now been caught in a restart cycle. i cannot start in safe mode nor can i boot with the cdrom, when i try using the XP disc i get an error saying my bios is not fully acpi compliant. it tells me how to turn off storage drivers but doesn't work when i try. my motherboard is an AOpen AK73 Pro A.

i did get it on once and tried a system restore but ever since that point i can't get it to go past the XP loading screen. it just loops back into a restart.


please help me!

You could try using the xp floppy disks.

Then try the last know good configuration. You will have to set the bios to boot the floppy first.

my floppy drive is dead. i am willing to do a format but i don't know how to get there.
