with all kinds of unhelpful suggestions.this is on a blue screen windows will not start, period. I've tried all the BIOS settings and start settings, and every suggestion on microsoft for this error. trouble is it was a used computer that did not come with a windows disk or a rescue disk or manuals of any kind. I can get to the screen with safe mode options but windows will not start in any mode. there is no record of last good start. i found a way to get to DOS prompt but chkdsk will not work, not recognized command.  |
I will have to ask a couple of questions:
1. Did you turn the computer on again, within let's say a minute?
2. What is the filesystem (NTFS, or FAT)?
3. What did you use to get in DOS?

I'm guessing if I want that infor I'll have to take the thing in to someone who can bench the hard drive?  |
I can understand this, an I will try to help you as much as I can from this distance. However I do need the answer to these questions above.
I'll be waiting for your reply with the answers.
