I'd reformat.
Put in your Windows install CD, boot with that, and reformat, and reinstall windows.
Note : You'll lose everything on your hard drive.

Safe mode

DO SAFE MODE.

DO SAFE MODE.

ive tried all of them

This is why I have multiple hard drives. A 300GB HD for all my games, and a 50GB for Windows, and other programs. If a problem occurs with my main hard drive, I reformat, and I don't lose anything major.

OH NOES D:

If you cant boot up safemode with command prompt then you "have" to do it from some sort of live disk to get to the windows repair utilities. Depending on the brand of your computer you may or may not have access to these disks. Some of the computers don't come with them.

Is the error "Error Loading OS" or a windows specific error?

[Wedge]

I forgot there was no edit button. If you're getting that screen telling you to start in safe mode, I'm pretty sure the operating system is loading fine.

What exactly happens when you chose the start computer normally option?

[Poent]

the OS actually wouldn't even have been touched if its getting to the boot menu. This is loaded from the boot sector only and doesn't hit the OS system. If your getting a blue screen flashed at you, you can disable reboot on error under your bios, and google the BSOD message. It may just be a driver that updated itself thats causing you to to crash out. It could be failing hardware though as well.
