Thinkpad T41 error c000021a

[shevyfan]

Guy's;
I have a Thinkpad T-41 rev2668.
When it boots up It comes to a bluescreen code of C-000021a with a sub code: 0x80000007.

It saterted when the kid, force closed the PC, while powering down, in middle of MS updates.
(He will be running laps, till next Easter).


What Iv'e tried:

* system restore to pre Nov 18th. (failure date).
* Dr Watson.
* Boot to safe mode. (Will not let m eget to SF/Networking). this returns me to C error.


Does anyone have a good idea what to do here?
Thanks, Mike in Detroit.

If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8. At the resulting Windows Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option.

This should work ^

51, Nyet.
Yeah, been on that 1 too.

I'm thinking xp disk. I have to get one. & give that a try.

let me know if you know of an alternative.

After some of theses update power off issues you might need to reinstall.

well. reinstall is a bit short.
I'm thinking MS xp. I'll try that.
1 item I couldn't access is the PC's partion of the boot portion.
instead of the old cd's they used to send with laptops.

anyway,, more to follow.
