Startup

At startup it says 'windows failed to start...'

It has options of Launch Startup Repair or Start Windows normally

If I select either of these options it just returns to the same screen

I am travelling on business and don't have the startup disk. Is there any
other way to start?

Re: Startup

Can you get to Safe mode? If so try a system restore from there.

spinrite
