When I try to boot normally, I get an error message "Windows protection error. Restart computer. System halted." Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 7:05 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chrstine Sanchez (1 messages posted) When I try to boot normally, I get the blue screen error message "Windows protection error. You must restart computer. System halted." Then I tried to boot into safe mode, and I get a blank screen with the words "safe mode" in all four corners of the screen. Shortly after, I get a window in the center that says "System Error, windows cannot read from drive C:. If this is a network drive, make sure the network is working. If it is a local drive, check the disk." Then there are 3 smaller boxes below, Cancel, Abort, Retry. I have tried to use a Systems Suite by Ontrack to boot from, and there were no restore points available. When I tried to run disk fixer, the program stops and says system error. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help? Thanks. Responses to this message: re: When I try to boot normally, I get an error message "Windows protection error. Restart computer. System halted."
