    Windows failing to start.


    After dowloading a norton removal tool for a virus, Windows is now failing to start. Startup repair does not fix it, I have tried several system restore points none of which work (error 0X8000ffff), and the last known configuration is not working either. I can get into the safe mode menu but when I try to go into safe mode I get the Windows failed to start. Does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong or how I can fix it. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks
