Hello. I currently had a power failure while windows was running. I was working on something in notepad when the power went out. When it came back on, it gave the message: "Couldnt start because following file is missing or corrupt: windows\system32\config\system". So I put in the windows disk and pushed f12 to choose to boot from the cd. The I ran the recovery console. When it came time, I typed in chkdsk /r (around 3pm yesterday) and then on either step 3 or 4 (i forgot which exacly) it stopped at 50 percent. Then it slowly climbed 1 percent per hour. When I went to bed at around 11pm that night, It was at 67 percent. When I awoke this morning around 7:30, it was still at 67 percent. I hard resetted the computer by the off/on button on the tower. Then as the computer restarted, I pressed f8 to choose to go back to the most recent settings that worked (before I did that, windows started up and i was able to access everything). Then after the f8 part I started windows and the new hardware wizard showed up for all the internal parts of the computer. I choose automatically find the drivers for those things. But when I get to the wizard that "helps you install software for: fastfat", I choose find automatically and no driver can be found. I put in the windows cd, seagate hdd cd, and a couple of dell drivers cds and ran the wizard and it still cannot find the appropriate driver for it.
The only thing I can see that doesnt work properly is that my Tmobile Wing does not charge when you put it in. All the other external devices or external storage devices seem to work fine. So I installed the program again for the phone called activesync. The fastfat wizard still pops up. I rightclicked on the cpu internal harddrive in 'My Computer' and went to properties > tools. Then I ran the error checking button. I did not check the 2 boxes that it gave after that (just scanned the drive for errors). And it stayed on step 2 for a while and then said that it could not be completed.
With all that said, how can I find the FastFat drivers or how can I get the error checking to complete?
