im running windows 2000. this problem happened after i had installed the newest version of adaware and was running it. the electricity went out as it was running and when i started the computer back up i get this error
STOP
0x0000007B) (0x82B25470, 0xC0000032, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DRIVE
it tells me to check for viruses, run checkdisk but i can't do anything as i can't get past that blue error window. i try running in safe mode via F8, i tried using the 'last known good configuration' but that doesn't work either.
i have some bootdisks i made a while back but im not sure how to use them. i put the first bootdisk in the floppy drive and windows2000 cd in the cd drive when restarting but that either does nothing or doesn't work. i don't have emergency repair disks, nor can i make them i think, as this computer im on now runs windows 98.
it really doesn't make sense to me that the hard drive would just die, could a power surge do that? even then, i have my computer hooked up to a powerbar with surge protection.
how can i fix this??
