inaccessable boot drive--Help!! - GoFuckYourself.com

BlackCrayon · 11-27-2006, 10:03 AM

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??

boot with the windowsdisk and go to recovery mode type fixmbr and fixboot and restart that should fix it, if that does not work, chances are your hard drive is fucked.
