1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 11, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi m8, I can avail you of an XP iso image if needs be, with serial. You can change the serial afterwards if required too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 11, 2007 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted July 11, 2007 thanks for the help guys, I am right in thinking that inorder to run chkdsk that is the only way, by booting via cd and getting to dos, somehow?

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 11, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted July 11, 2007 How far into the boot process does it go Colin? Does it crash the same in command prompt safe mode too? Dave, that floppy sounds interesting, not come across a means to run chkdsk off floppy, can I have a copy please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 11, 2007 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted July 11, 2007 when it boots it goes to the screen where you can select safe mode, safe mode with networking etc Safe mode still crashes. Return to last known good config crashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBloke Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 In place repair maybe a better possibility especially if the registry is still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
