If the hard disk works with linux but not windows, chances are that there is some (mother board) driver issues with windows and not with the file system. I have seen a couple of cases like this. Checking the disk is not going to help. If you have your mother board driver CD, then when you boot from the windows CD drive, there is an option where you can load the drivers before it boots into the installation screen. You have to press F2 or F8 - it mentions the key in the bottom of the screen for a few seconds while booting up from CD. Try loading the drivers and then repairing or reinstalling windows. 2009/12/3 Shrinivasan T <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > Bluescreen may happen due to so many errors. > Not only disk failure. > > The funny part is you dont even know the reasons behind the bluescreen. > This is a nice time to get rid of the bluescreen. > > You have already Orange Screen with Ubuntu, > > Welcome to the wonderlands of Linux. > > That was a very useful solution to the problem thank you very much. > > -- > Regards, > T.Shrinivasan > > > My experiences with Linux are here > http://goinggnu.wordpress.com > > For Free and Open Source Jobs > http://fossjobs.wordpress.com > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with > "unsubscribe <password> <address>" > in the subject or body of the message. > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
