Hello, im in a hurry.
My pc "died" or something, it froze while i was playing LFS. Turned off the hard way, and when i turned it on, there was a message of Windows, that it had a problem. In a blue screen, to reboot and check something in safe mode.
I rebooted it, and again the same problem. I cant acces to my account, niether windows cant start, no default mode, no safe mode or something.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mods if its the wrong section move it

Maybe try repairing your windows installation from the Windows CD? See what that says. Good luck.

What does the blue screen say exactly? That'd would help narrow your problem down.

That there was a problem with windows, and for the safety or windows it turned off. (tthe pc, but huh i turned it off) .
If it happened before to run in safe mode, or reboot in normal mode.
To reinstall Windows (but hell no all my sets gone again )
and some ther stuff explaining the above..

i did it like 7 times...

it says something like:
unmountable_boot_volume
If its the first time this screen appears reboot. If it happens again try these steps:
Try that every hardware or software is correctly installed. Something if its new.. but doesnt matter.
then: if problems persist delete any new hardware or software installed. Disable the options of BIOS memory as: cache or vigilance. then it says how to do it.
Technical info:
***STOP: 0X000000ED (0x88b31900, 0xC000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000000)

Unmountable_boot_volume points to a harddisk crash, might be possible to repair the bootsector (chkdsk / fixboot / fixmbr ). But if u are unlucky u lost all your data and the hdd is dead.

Good luck

Before you toss out the failing HDD, I'd recommend securing an Linux Ubuntu LiveDisk. Pop it into the CD/DVD-ROM drive and enter your BIOS, set it to boot from the cd drive before the harddrive. When the Ubuntu menu comes up, select the first option (Stat or Install Ubuntu). You should be able to boot up with the Ubuntu disk without installing it at all. There's a chance you may be able to boot up and copy some files onto an external harddrive while using the LiveDisk so as not to lose all your data.

This is what I did when windows decided it wanted to randomly corrupt a needed system file. Of course, it wasn't an HDD failure, so you might be out of luck - but it is worth a try first.

Well... He went to the repair place like 20 minutes ago...

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!

Is it a IRCQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ?
or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ?

It must give a error like this too.. If it's IRCQ then it's not repairable. Happend to my asrock motherboard.. (cheap dipshit)

Try to search on google.

I had a weird blue screen thingy happen to me a couple of weeks back. I just did a system restore and it was ok.

But he can't start windows at all. Same happend before.

I ripped off my hdd to a other pc and formatted..

Still had that BSOD. Anyway hope you can fix it.

You don't need to start windows to do a system restore, that's the whole point of the system restore

Congrats on not losing everything.

Blue Screen these days pretty much always means that there is something going on near kernel level, such as drivers, that are causing the instability. I would update your drivers first. In rare cases, it could also be a hardware failure.

To be honest I would use an old version of PCLinuxOS (Can't remember which one) since it's easy to mount and set up partitions.
