Re: BSOD cannot start Windows
no, it gets to that directory ok.
all of the other ones copied from \repair\ software sam security default It just says it cannot find "system" I tried retyping it a couple of times in case I maybe entered it wrong, missed a "\" or something - no go. |

Re: BSOD cannot start Windows
to add to it - I typed "dir"
and in the \repair\ directory I did find a file called system.bak |

Re: BSOD cannot start Windows
Really? The .bak files should have been the ones renamed in the \config\system rather than the \repair\ folder. is this the only .bak file you see in the repair folder?

Re: BSOD cannot start Windows

Re: BSOD cannot start Windows
at last - it boots to windows.
a lot of problems now - it will not recognize the mouse, will not let me open device manager, and the users are all gone - just has "owner". But I'll see if I can at least back up the important stuff then work on sorting. thanks sooooo much!!!!! |
