Be careful loading from your old hard drive. This same thing happened to me and I had to get a new PC. I can't connect my old hard drive to my new PC so I went to a friends house to use his. Guess what, now his is all jacked up. The very same thing happened to him that happened to me. Looks like I'll be buying a new hard drive this week.
Typically what I would do to backup the data is take that drive out of the computer, put it into an external enclosure, plug that into a different computer, back everything up to the second computer, reformat the original one.
It's easier to format than to have windows attempt to fix itself. Especially considering a fresh install of windows starts broken.
You may ask why: it's windows, it's always broken ;D

I think I know what to do maby you could try to use the xp program while having the 20gb harddrive installed as a slave and the other as master while runing the xp program I tryed it with mine and everything is runign great by the way what size is the prosser? pentium 2,3 or 4? because the size of the prosser may need to be bigger but I never had that problem sence I tryed what I have recommended to you. sincerly moose.
Use a SLAX CD disk to boot up with. Its easy to use, user friendly and doesnt need Windows to start, and save your Data by copying to your Usb drives, by right clicking copy and paste (Its called Paste URLS in Slax). Your hard drive will show up in System as hard drives no matter what is wrong. I cant remember the commands for Formatting your drive but I know it works no matter if the HD becomes RAW or cant boot or the MBR is deleted. Sorry I dont know much but its easy to find your way around slax more like Mac than windows but easy once you explore
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
go to f10 and select safe mode after in safe mode install a anti virus program (try webroot with anti virus) then find a malware program to take out the malware that is infecting your computer.... This should solve your problem... if not just format the hard drive and reinstall windows
I accidentally deleted my operating system on my computer and I have now tried to make a new one on a different computer which, to my knowledge, I did correctly. But, every time I try to start repairing my operating system, I get the blue screen right after it starts. I don't know what to do, but I'm trying to use an external hard drive and I doubt it will work. Any help is appreciated.

Buy a new drive install windows on the new drive then copy the files from the old drive. Because it is only the window portion of the old drive is damage. Everything else on the old drive should be OK. So you wont loos your files that you cant replace. Ex old tax forms, etc.
I generally keep 2 Hard drives in my PC and try installing most applications to my second drive since the main drive with windows is always the one to crash. Another thing is to buy a very large drive partition it that windows has it own partition. Then try to put most of your data file and even some application that store data to the other partition(s). That will help when your windows crash.
But to actually stop your computer from rebooting before Windows start is really to reinstall windows. That is what I know, somebody might know a way.

There is nothing can be done unless you have another Hard disk, to install windows XP on. Otherwise you may loose everything on your present hard drive.
So if you have a little hard drive that is good and just lying around put it in the computer and put windows XP on it. Then once you have a good XP running you can salvage the other one up to where it was before. the process in not difficult but I will have to wait until I know you can afford do what I stated here first

Buy a 700 mb check. Download the Ubuntu LiveCD .iso file and burn it to cd. You can google how to burn an iso to a cd. Then put the cd in, reboot and select "Try Ubuntu with no change to your computer". Look up more about the option. Sorry I can't explain, I gtg.
i have the same problem with the blue screen popping out sometimes if I dont use it for a day it lets me log in then after 30 min if not less of using it, it pops up. Im thinking about re-installing vista on it when ever it does that but dont know if it would mess it up.

Hey Guys! I had the Same problem :P Just Open up your CPU box, Remove the RAM and Reinsert the same one. It works for me XP
Hi Continual blue screen of death can also mean a hardware conflict or a corrupt registry. Open up your case and look for your 'JBAT' jumper and cross pins 2/3 (with the machine off of course) for up to a minute to clear the CMOS settings. If you can't find the jumper remove the battery for a minute and replace does the same thing. On reboot you may see bad checksum hit F1 to enter setup or some other key to continue. Your sustem will load default values to ensure machine works! Good luck
hi I think that your computer has been wiped with a virus you might need to get a new hard disk or maybe if you can get into safe mode restore your computer to an earlier time when you used it last when it was fine. But if none of that works you will have to live without all of those files on your computer and buy a new one. But if your warranty is still valid that is a different matter
