Hi,
I have Windows XP Professional (home edition) on my PC. When starting the system all I receive is a blue screen indicating STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. The message indicates if this is the 1st time this screen apprears restart the computer or run chkdsk/f. (This is the 1st time this screen has appreared!) I cannot get to the desktop or any programme to run a virus check even!.
I cannot shut down the PC until I hold down the shut down on the unit for 10 seconds.
It also mentions to check for virus or any hardware that has been installed. I have tried starting in safe mode but no luck. The recovery cd does not clean or recover etc. No new hardware/programmes were installed. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.
If you cannot boot to the Recovery Console with your Recovery cd go to the Microsoft site and get the Setup boot disks, with these disks you will be able to boot to the Recovery Console.

If the drive controller is not at fault you can try these from the
Recovery Console:
chkdsk /r
fixboot
