Hey everybody. Well, needless to say, I am in the same exact pickle. Quote: "....status of 0xc000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down." Had the autocheck bad boy as well. Eliminated it via registry. So, pretty much 0xc000003a is left. Also, autocheck as I understand is just an indicator of a problem rather than a cause... Okay, some background: Have Windows 7 x64, decided to install Linux Mint x64 (I am on it right now).Obviously, had to move some partitions around - that went well. At one point, I had nice dual boot with grub: Win7 and Mint. However, probably from having nothing else to do, I decided to be anal and react to this warning in Mint that I have a lot "...bad sectors...". So, I scanned/checked them and tried to repair on Mint. And that was the breaking point, I think. After googling a lot, I fixed up nicely my boot records, mbr... So I now I got dual boot sys as well, it is just that Win 7 gives me that autocheck + 0xc000003a I have tried the following: 1) Registry editing "Bootexecute"... 2) Tried tackling this hidden partitions issue. AFAIK, they are not hidden. Although, not sure. Tried unhide(hdX,Y) - did not work ("select disk does not exist"). Here is a "fdisk -l" by the way: Quote: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000000a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 17346 139331713+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 17347 19457 16956607+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 19203 19457 2048287+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 17347 17996 5221062 83 Linux /dev/sda7 19071 19201 1052226 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda8 17997 19070 8626873+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order 3) repairing with windows 7 cd 4) setting the drive in question as active numerous times 5) some other desperate stuff as replacing identical autocheck.exe from different (but same cd) win7 instalations in case it was corrupt. 6) PTedit - doesnt work because win7 is x64 It has been 2-3 days with at least 6hours each. I am running out of options and MS tech support sites dont help. Thanks.
