I get a STOP error message 0x00000050 when trying to install windows. It happens immediately after I "Agree and press F8".
I shutdown the computer one day and the next, I come back to it and it tells me before I even hit any sort of windows loading screen that config.sys is missing or corruted and that I should try and repair windows through the CD. I tried this at the start of my troubleshooting and it gave me the same stop error after chosing which OS the repair ( I only have the one installationg on this disk).
It's a 1.5 year old Western Digi Raptor (8MB cache).
Any clue on what the heck is going on here?
I think it might be a bad HDD but I'm really not sure...
Thanks.
