Code 0x10010020000100a

[syde]

So I've had my pc off for abit due to busy with work and turned it on to find a blue screen every time I started it up (see screenshot) and when i try yo do the reformat the pc to factory date I get the code 0X 1001002000100A

any ideas at all?

edit: I was thinking maybe faulty memory?

Was there any filename reported as the culprit in the BSoD screen?

Here is the Memtest Guideto confirm your Ram is ok

I switched out the memory and am getting the same results still and the only real words I've seen is "unmountable boot volume"

 

[kimsland]

Well not Ram then

Can you check start > Run > %windir%\Minidump folder for any recent Minidumps to attach

hmmm is that a command prompt? I can get to the menu that lets me pick between reg/safe/safe with prompt/last good known date but all turn into the blue screen.

Oh yer, you can't get into Windows

ok lets try CheckDisk from the repair console (from the original Vista disc).

started, est time 94 mins...time to cook dinner

 

[kimsland]

Seems a tad long

chkdsk /r

is all that is required

said #10008 replace hard disk. ;(

 

[kimsland]

Oh dear

Well, first up is to swap hard drive data cables (if a desktop computer)
But it just sounds like a faulty hard drive that requires replacing at this point

 

[syde]

its a laptop ;(

 

[kimsland]

Remove the harddrive
Remove any casing that may be affixed to it
Remove the end connector (some have a narrow connector at the end of the drive

Then go to a computer store and say, I'll have a working one of these please

The rest is pretty basic, just start from the top of this thread
