Definate WTF M8
« on: June 12, 2005, 12:02:13 pm »
Ok so I am scrolling down in FF and then this BSOD comes up.  Im like WTF, w/e.  I restart my computer and it boots up but with about 1/3 of my icons that should be on the desktop.  Im like "ok then" and i restart my computer.  Now when it goes to load, all it says is "Invalid System Disk".  I just dropped a Win98 startup disk in there but i haven't seen what it did yet.  Any ideas?

Sounds like your hard-drive bit the big one.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

When i stick the start-up disk in it sees everything on c:/.  I think my MBR bit the big one.

You can fix the MBR with the Windows Recovery Console (off the Windows XP cd).  I forget how, though, Google would know.

It does sound like a bad harddrive, though.

Files (icons on your desktop) just don't disappear.

Sorry.

Run chkdsk.

Suppose i should have looked into that BSOD.  I think it was my video card driver blowing up because before the computer stopped getting to Windows the resolution was all messed up.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
