I too am having problems with defrag restarting and I
can't start my computer in safe mode. I have tried F8 and
can't find Boot.ini in ms config

Wrong key--after the memory count, either hold down or rapidly tap the Ctrl
key. You can also go to msconfig.exe, advanced button and mark: Enable
startup menu

The documented KEY is CTRL.

Try this: Click Start | Help and then select the Index tab and enter SAFE
