BSOD on toshiba Equium

stjohn · 08-11-2008, 04:13 PM

Hi all.. i guess this is probably too vague, but im receiving a bsod everytime i boot up my sisters laptop. error 0x0000000ED or something. when try to boot in safe mode, it scans the .sys files and then another bsod. is there a way to get around this at all? or does it sound like the HD is totally banjaxed?
thanks in advance for any help.

Hi rory,

Definitely looks like hard drive related. If possible make a backup of all your important files.

First run HDD diagnostic to test your drive. Use Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. D/load the utility here:

Burn the ISO image to CD and boot from that CD. Just follow the instructions on the Menu to test the drive.

After doing the test, run CHKDSK /R in Recovery Console when you boot with your XP install CD.
