Hello,

WinXP Pro SP2 reboots immediately after startup (the Windows screen
appears dimmed, then the reboot starts).

I tried booting in Safe Mode, and the computer displays a list of
files, then hangs at GBDevice.sys.

I have tried a WinXP CD repair, however the reboot problem starts
again after the repair sequence makes a reboot (when the repair
sequence asks for any floppies to be removed for a reboot that will
allow the setup to continue).

I have tested much of the hardware and it passed all tests with PC
Diagnostics, however the computer would hang when PC Diagnostics
attempted to test the USB port. The mouse & keyboard are working on
these USB ports.

Any ideas ? Could this be a boot virus ?

Thank you,

DH

I also wish to recover data from EFS encrypted folders so I do no wish
to make a complete re-install.

That won't be a problem IF you Exported the encryption key like you should
have.
