I've scoured nearly the entire internet looking for any good news for me, but nothing seems tailored to my issue. Please look and any help is GREATLY appreciated.
I logged into my PC today (2 year old Dell Dimension P4 3.8 w/1gig ram and 80gig HDD) loaded up a game and blue screened. Haven't seen one of those nasty's on one of my PC's in 5-6 years. Basically looked like a data dump/reg key problem.
Rebooted PC, logged in and it said it couldn't load my profile cuz of a bad reg key or sumthin like that. It loaded up a fresh, brand new looking Profile with stock everything. All my data was still there though. I checked "Control Panel > User Accounts" to see if it created a new Accound and all the sudden "Asp.net" was there. I checked the net to see if I could delete it and it said I could, but that I just wouldn't be able to do any ASP work if I did (which I don't).
Anyways, once I deleted that and reset my PC to see if my settings came back, that's when I got "<Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Reinstall this file"
I've tried the "expand d:\i386....c:\windows\system32" solution every which way. I've tried copying files to my C: drive. They both say "Access Denied".
I've tried "bootcfg/rebuild/add/scan/" all of those options. Nothing. "Rebuild" and "Add" say I need to run "Chkdsk". Ok.....
So I run "Chkdsk /r". Scans all the way to 34% and locks up. Let it sit for like 8 hours. System isn't making any sounds indicating it's doing anything.
I've tried Reinstalling Windows. It shows that my 80gig C:\ is 75892 (something like that) and that 75892 is free. When I go to install Windows it says there is a bad file *gasp* and that I might need to format.
I know the boot.ini was probably nuked with the deletion of ASP.net account, but I don't seem to be able to get it back on there any way. I'm going to try and slave it to another SATA PC, but I don't know anyone who has one right off hand and I don't have a spare drive of any kind. Tried to install windows on my thumb drive, but it's not able to do that.
I used to have a CD called Windows PE or sumthin like that that was like a bootable Virtual OS where I could navigate a bad drive, grab files and save them. I really don't care to format, but there are some things I do wanna get. Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide to help you help me.
Thanks a million in advance for any help!
Take Care!
