I HAVE TRIED TO USE THE RECOVERY CD BUT THE COMPUTER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A QUICK RESTORE ERROR 102:9 AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO PROCEED. IT ALSO MENTIONS SEVERAL FATAL EXEPTIONS

Is this a Compaq?

What is the make/model of the PC?

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? If so, what did they say even if it didn't seem useful?

Did a search and didn't find much information about this error. What some said is that it could be a corrupted master boot record. Take a bootdisk (windows 98/me should do) and boot from it. Load it with cdrom support. Type in fdisk /mbr and hit Enter. Restart (ctrl+alt+del) and see if the recovery cd will work now.

THANK YOU GRAY NIGHT! THE PROBLEM IS THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO REACH A POINT IN WHIDH I CAN USE THE COMPUTER AT ALL. RE-BOOT CD WILL LOAD UP BUT AS SOON AS IT REACHES THE RE-BOOT SCREEN, IT TELLS ME ABOUT THE ERROR AND I CANNOT CONTINUE. UNABLE TO TYPE COMANDS

What's with all the CAPS you are typing in. Hard to read and a form of yelling when used online.

I know the CD won't work. Have you tried the Windows 98 floppy disk to see if that would work?

SALS · 11-06-2004, 05:53 AM

Sorry Grey Knight! I am hard of hearing and sometimes I do not realize I am being so loud.

I'll see if I can get the floppy for Windows 98 and see if that will work. Thank's
