Blue Screen

Ok, I'm stumped. Pentium III laptop with MS 2000 pro started locking up such that I had to restart. Not long later, computer boots up to the Window 2000 boot screen and when the indicator is ¾ across, it stops. After a short time, blue screen appears saying “inaccessible boot device” So, I boot with a UBUNTU disk and can read all my files. Then, reload windows and a week later, same thing happened. How do I further diagnose the problem, Hardware or software?

Hi,
You can download Ultimate boot cd from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/. It has various hardware diagnostics you could try.
