theefool 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Can you give some system specs? Like what operating system (os) you are using? Share this post Link to post
Wilhelmus 1 Posted February 9, 2005 For XP, try these: 1) Start with XPCD in CDROM/DVD drive and boot from it. 2) Start Recovery Console (press "R") from Welcome to Setup screen. 3) Login with your Administrator account. 4) At the command prompt execute: "chkdsk /p /r" this can take some time... 5) Then execute: "fixboot c:" 6) Type "exit" to reboot system. To prevent this from happening again, download and install this "Critical Update, February 10, 2002" This should be fixed in SP1> Share this post Link to post
