Etchy-Scetch Is Down.

[x-GAMBIT-x]

Well my Pc just took a Crap on me. I rebooted my PC and It never came back up,
It showed the Windows logo screen then instead of logging on it goes to a Blue Screen
and says

Stop: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process system process
terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000). The System has ben shutdown.

I was hopeing I could get back on I have some stuff on my pc i was working on that I wanted to save
didn't want to do it all over again, And had other stuff that I wanted to backup or at least write down so
I know.
I tried installing my OS to do a repair on my windows to see if that would work to be able to get on again
but it's asking me for an admin password and I don't remember ever having one, I tried a bunch that I think
it might be but none of them worked.
I tried booting up in Safe Mode also but it goes to the same bluescreen again.
So I guess I'm at a loss and might have to Wipe the PC down and start all over again.........

XP? Vista?

[WeedVulture]

sounds like you downloaded a virus while surfing for porn... Windows FTL!

[x-GAMBIT-x]

XP
And the only thing I have downloaded lately was a free trial for a
DVD Menu Program.

Some pc retail outlets offer a hard drive rescue service. If your unbacked up stuff is valuable it may be worth pay a bit to have it extracted.

Sometimes a clean slate is nice.

Put the hard drive in another comp and see if you can access it.

Ok Gambit, you told me just a few days ago that you partitioned your drive. You can install Windows XP/Vista into the drive that does NOT currently have your Windows XP system installed to. That should let you boot up an OS and check your other files without having to reformat and what not. It's stable and you can just work off of that OS you just installed.

That is what I did when I got the same problem you had with Windows XP. I've been on crappy Vista so far and do not have the time/lazy to go back to XP, but all my files are still intact. Just note that some of the programs won't work and you have to reinstall them if you do not want to try and save your previous OS system.

I think you might have me confused with someone else maybe, But I did have an empty drive that wasn't being
reckognized but yet you could see it I tried to install OS on it but I would get the Blue Screen of death all the time. BUt I have a freind who also have's a Sata Drive so I can hook up my Drive to his PC to recover what I need, Will be doing this on THusrday, So might be back online Friday.

I'm not sure why a fresh install of an OS on a different drive would not work. Did you set the new OS that you installed as the primary OS to load first? Otherwise it still tries to load the OS that is messed up. You can switch it up by going into the bios of your motherboard and set that drive where you installed the new OS to as the primary drive to load first.

Yeah me and my friend did some more work on the pc and I think the one hard drive was faulty
it has never worked sinci I got it and we ran a program don't remember what it was again but it
had 9 faults on it and now was repaired installed OS on it but the Tower will not recognize the
HD we unpluged my other 2 HD and put the one we wanted to boot up as the Primary but it
wouldn't work it see's the HD but won't boot it. We Didn't realy work on too much on trying to
recover my data but worked on trying to get the HD to work I might have to send it back to NEwegg
for a new one if the warranty is not expired or maybe if I beach enough they will let me exchange it.
My friend has one more thing to try to see if he can get it to work. And I told him screw the HD lets just see
if we can recover my Data for now. but were both busy for the weekend so might not be back on till Wed.

Bummer, Gambit! Let us know what happens. I have a few spare HDs I could send you... they're PATA and not that big, you you're welcome to one if it will help.

[Knave_Skye]

[x-GAMBIT-x]
