I typed Y to write a new MBR. Suddenly I got a blue screen with a
message "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to
prevent damage to your computer." Then it listed "Technical
Information:
*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x80882211, 0xF93DEEBC, 0x00000000)".
I restarted the computer, and it went into the endless loop of trying
to boot Windows, failing, and restarting. I restarted with the Boot
Disks again and got to the Recovery Console and went through all the
steps of fixmbr and hit Y again. This time it said that a new Boot
Record was successfully written. I typed "Exit" at the C:\windows\
prompt, and the computer restarted, but unfortunately it went back into
the endless loop again. I tried restarting in Safe Mode, but it still
won't boot up Windows. If you have any other advice, it would be
greatly appreciated. By the way, my computer had up-to-date active
anti-virus software running prior to all the trouble.
