System: P4 .9G, .5G memory, 10G disk
OS: W2k Pro

All was working for long time then started having
intermittent problems.

Symptom: Fails solid. Boot seems to go OK until slider on
W2K Pro screen gets about 2/3 to right, then blue screen.

Problem: Have data on c: and would like to recover it.

I have tried:
1)Boot w2k install CD to reinstall W2k but get Blue screen
before have chance to run R option.

2) Boot from Boot Disketts. Same result.

3)Partition Majic lets me see drive and all seems well

4)Using CDROM and BartPE Builder has same problem. Blue
screen when accessing c: during boot up.

- Have been able to pull c disk just before blue screen
error and then replace disk after BartPE comes up.
This allows me to get a cmd line, However I can no longer
see drive C:. I do see: D:-CDROM, A:, Ramdisk B:

5)I understand there is a cable that would allow me to plug
my laptop drive c: into a desktop as a second hard drive
but haven't tried it. It is an hour+ to get the cable.

My thought is that I need to see drive C: and run CHKDSK /F

The light on C: comes on when I click BROWSE. I think
there is good electrical connections to the drive but
because I pulled it Software seems to think it is not
there.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks for looking this over, but you are wrong. I know I
am booting from CDRom and Diskettes. Why because the same
process works just fine when I have a different hard drive
in my laptop and it does not boot the operating system on
the good hard drive. Please assume the facts as presented.

The error message could help (for example is it in ntfs.sys ?) . The
easiest way to recover your data is to slave it to another drive with
Win2k and get the data back. As you've said you will need an extra
adapter. Even if you do this you may need to use a recovery software to
be able to get into the failed drive.
Of course i assume that the failure is in file system level, not a real
hard drive failure.

Best of luck

I had a similar problem a few months ago. could not get
system to boot no matter what.

I would suggest if you just want the information you can
pull the HDD out of the laptop. There is an adapter
(approx $4-8) you can pick up at your local PC shop to
convert the smaller HDD to a standard IDE in a PC.
Set it to slave and pull the info over.

That is what I ended up doing just to save time...

If you are unable to boot from cd or floppy, might this not indicate a more
fundemental prob?
ie mobo, cpu? any bios beeps?

He is able to boot from CD. Read his second message again (it's a little
confusing).

start up system
fix info in the bios
select cdrom as your boot device (win2k)
select repair
select repair from console
you'll get a dos like shell
type in fixboot
you could type fixmbr (not sure when that worked for me)
type in chkdsk /p
if all looks ok exit
restart will kick in
go in to bios and change the boot device
hopefully your ok and your signifcant others will feel
safe around you again.
