Blue Screen of Death Options??

Hi
Just download a copy of Linux knoppix  to boot the pc and transfer your mame to another partition or create another partition and transfer the files to it and then reinstall the OS.

RayB:
I got this problem recently too! It was due to corrupted data in the master boot record.

I booted to command line (I think via my XP install disc...??? Maybe when selecting Repair option?)

So then in command line, I could not see the files of the C: drive anymore so I ran CHKDSK with the repair option.

It found bad sectors, and whatnot, fixed them, and then I was able to boot to Windows again.

Flake:

You mean you got the same unmountable boot problem and were unable to start up in safe mode?  What exactly was your problem?

I'm really hoping the fix I found (posting in an earlier post) on the internets via the XP install CD works for me.

RayB:
Maybe not EXACTLY, but sounds similar.
What I got was a BSOD one day while working, and then Windows would no longer boot. It would start loading, showing the logo and then it would just reboot again, and did this over and over. Going into SAFE mode did the same thing, it listed drivers it was loading and then POOF it reboots.

C: drive wouldn't list files. Said there was some error.

Now I just noticed you said you defragged, but did you defrag with full error checking and repair? Just try running CheckDisk (CHKDSK command) with the full repair option and see what happens. (Can't hurt at this point)


severdhed:
yeah, i'd boot from the xp cd, get to the recovery console, then run a chkdsk /r first. then if that doesnt work, i'd go through the process in that link i posted where you run bootcfg /rebuild.
