Error code

**Terry Seyforth** · 05-13-2008, 11:51 AM

Hi my laptop seems to have a problem, it was working fine and then this happened.
You turn the laptop on and it does the windows loading screen then flashes blue with this code :
Stop : 0x00000073 (0x00000001,0xc000017D,0x00000002,0xF81FDBB8)

I have tried to search for this code but cant find it, it also gives you the options, safe mode,safe mode with internet ETC, but these dont work either, they take you to the blue screen again, I had to take a picture to get the code as it flashes on and off so quick.

Any ideas please. I havent tried loading the xp disc yet to repair as someone said it might be a hard drive failiar.

Thanks
