I tried following this tutorial, and after a screen full of code after pressing the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt." A bunch of random colorful letter and numbers appeared on the screen. They are all colors of the rainbow, and some are flashing. I left it be, cause it may be doing some important process. But I don't know for sure. Been like 10 minutes

Hi! Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, when I get to the Windows Advanced Options Menu, selecting any of the Safe Mode options gets me in a loop where it runs some codes and then goes back to the menu. And it just goes on endlessly in a loop. Any suggestions?

I having a hard time with my XP desktop. I have an old HP pavilion XT963 Windows XP PC Desktop. I am trying to turn it into a Linux, but the problem is some of the f keys for the bios are missing, I can't use the F12, and it will not boot from both a burned disk and USB for some unknown reason it won't respond. Can anyone help me?
