Re: *** STOP: (0x0000007B,0XF85438D0,0XC000009C,0X00000000,0x00000

Dave I could not create a boot disk at home, but I had created one at work
and copied the files you stated onto the diskette. I start up W2K, then as
the Splash screen was up, after it started loading, I got the "Stop" msg and
blue screen, then everthing halted.

So, I tried the other option you mentioned:

boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"

and

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt
[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"

I get the following message everytime I turn on the computer:
"A problem with the hard drive has been detected. Consult the
troubleshooting section of you users manual."

I just hit enter and it continues, until the STOP msg appears. This time I
had the boot diskin drive "A"

I ran boot disk the first time through with the boot.ini using the
multi(0)disk and I received the following messages on the four choices I had
to pick from:

Option #1 with the boot.ini on multi:

Please select the operating system to start
I pressed Windows 0,1 and then it started to boot W2k, then I received the
STOP msg and the blue screen.

Re-booted

Option #2 with the boot.ini on multi:
I pressed Windows 0,2 and I received the following message:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware Configuration
Problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and
disk hardware"

The boot path should be correct, because on her C: drive is the WINNT
directory, unless option #2 is checking on Drive D:, and not Drive "C:".

Ctrl, Alt, Del , then Re-booted

Option #3 with the boot.ini on multi:
I pressed Windows 1,1 and I received the following message:
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows 2000 Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe".

Ctrl, Alt, Del , then Re-booted

Option #4 with the boot.ini on multi:
I pressed Windows 1,2 and I received the following message:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware Configuration
Problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check bootpath and
disk hardware"

I change the boot.ini to scsi for the second try and received the same
messages as above for each option 1-4.

So, am I completely out luck now? Hopefully you have somthing else I could
try to correct the problem, before I have to re-format her hard drive and
reload W2k and all of her programs. Thank you again for all of your
assistance and options you gave to me to try and correct my problem.
Hopefully you will give me another option to try, before I have to give up.
