Ok thanks for your concerns. I do however feel that it was something which was deleted first time round - ie; one of the scans mentioned in tetonbob's first post. I could not undertake anything at all tetonbob's second post - as I said I kept getting the BSOD's. I regret I cannot give you the BSOD details either as, as I am saying now I cannot boot into anything - safe mode or windows. I keep getting a chkdsk request to run a check on f: - aborting this only means it wants to run again on the next boot and letting it run to "completion" results in the system freezing. I have even run chkdsk in the recovery console but it freezes at 75% on f:. I would say that my system is installed on a Promise Raid. C, D, E and F are all partions on the 2 disk Array RAID 0. What I need is a utility to stop chkdsk running on bot up - I have serached the ineternet but unless I can invoke regedt32.exe in a command prompt I am stuck. I cannot access the registry in windows 'cos I can't get there. Windows at the moment has undertaken the file copying process in a Repair Install but cannot continue reinstalling until this chkdsk thing goes away.
So sUBs - where do I go from here? It was tetonbob's recommendations which have caused matters to be worse - I followed his requests in his FIRST POST to the letter appart from the Panda Scan, which I explained was an online process and could not be undertaken due to the email sends. My first Repair install went fine and going online did not trigger the email sends - so that seems sorted now. However the minute the Microsofts Download Software wasdownloaded and the very instant that windows started to install, the BSOD appeared. This particular software is the software you have to install on the Update Site, in order to update your windows system - I hope you know what I am saying. After it has been installed you then can recheck for updates and download/install those. But the BSOD's keep returning the minute Windows has fully booted - usually 20/30 secs after the boot process has completed. But now I cannot boot into Windows because I am in the middle of a Repair Install and this cannot continue because of chkdsk.
Please help me disable chkdsk running from a command prompt so I can continue with the Repair Install. I will need a purpose built boot disc methinks because Recovery Console does not recognise regedt32.exe or even regedit.
Hoipe you can help a frustrated woman
