Computer is in a checking-file-system loop and I cannot get out
Using XP.
My computer (not this one) is caught in a loop and I cannot get out.
On startup, it started Checking File System on C, though I do not recall having asked it to do that. I tried ctrl-alt-delete and got no response. I shut it off and on re-boot, it started checking file system on C and Checkdisk. I let it run until it said 100 percent complete, but there no change to the image on my monitor. I shut it off and re-booted. Again, it started Checking File system on C and Checkdisk.
Whatever it is doing, I do not want it to do that.
How do I get out of his loop?
