Hey all,
I’m trying to help a user out with their home PC running win2k with the latest and greatest MS updates, SP 4 ‘an all.
Long story short when you boot the computer you receive the following:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x820B8030, 0xc0000006, 0x0000000000, 0x00000000) INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
When you boot into safe mode the same error as above is displayed.
I created a boot-disk on a known clean machine, write-protected the disk physically, booted to the command prompt. Attempted to change directory to C: partition, and I receive the following, “Invalid drive specification”. I thought maybe a boot sector virus had re-labeled the partition so I went through them all A-Z:, no luck except A: and B: of course for 1.44mb disks. What do you think should be my next step?
I was hoping I could first run an AV from command prompt, then I was hoping I could issue a FDISK /MBR command. I’m not sure how to move forward, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,
