spider209999, I suggest you start you own thread with your specific problems. This is page 4 of a thread that was started over a year and a half ago. It's left as a reference and it's better not to add onto these old threads.

Only those member who are still subscribed to this thread will even see it.

hey solid directions; i'm great with computers but something happened and i had to rebuild my boot config and files. first time i've ever had to use the recovery console, microsoft +1 for once

sidenote, ironically i don't think you can run chkdsk with /f parameter unless you run it from the DOS prompt in windows...which if you are following these steps is impossible until you fix the boot! not 100% on this, but /r implies /f so it's not biggie

i have to retract my previous post...went through the steps as outlines by pioneerX and everything went fine until i tried to boot, same old thing, blinking underscore in top left.

i'm going to try a new harddrive, hopefully it boots...
