You might be lucky and have the corruption limited to Windows system files - in which case the Windows repair install will fix it - but it could have also corrupted some of your mame data. I would recommend finding a copy of SpinRite and running that. It can take 20+ hours to run, but will attempt to recover data even from bad sectors at a very low level on the hard drive... http://grc.com/spinrite Apparently, there are a lot of success stories from IT pros and it has been under development for the past 16 years.

I had blue screens of death on my latest project, together with random shutdowns etc. It was a brand new Mini ATX and it turned out to be something really simple. I was using the U360 without a powered hub (connected directly to USB on the PC). The U360 registered fine in Windows, and worked fine in the Ultimarc programming software. But in Mame it wasn't responding. Plus I was having these really irksome reset problems with BSOD. A powered hub sorted all this out in one go! All runs sweet as a nut after that. :cheers: |

A STOP 0x000000ED is an UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297185 describes this STOP code. What is the second hexadecimal number in parentheses? That tells you the 'reason' for this crash. My suggestion would be: 1. Remove the hard drive from this computer. 2. Mount this hard drive as a secondary hard drive in another computer running Windows 3. Back up any data you want to keep 4. Run chkdsk /f on this filesystem 5. Put the drive back in the machine and see if it boots. |

Finally got my hard drive cables and began the cloning operation over the weekend. Started on Saturday around 4pm and its STILL RUNNING. The timer claimed another 5 days was in the works last night. I'm using that Acronis software. Is it really supposed to take that long? Seems like a reallly long time, but it is running and appears to be working as far as I can tell. |
