hi all,
have a winxp thats bluescreening, i ran hirens usb boot, fixmbr (yes on the
correct drive and partition)
an still no go- the drive is not faulty as integrated disk test is clean, and
if I choose bootXP from hiren's it works fine-
the cd rom drive is buste so i cannot wasnt able to use recovery console, i
ordered a usb cd rom- but in the interim anything else I can do? I cant format
reinstall because there is a proprietary app on it-
but the goal is to correct it via recovery console and clone the disk when the
new tower arrives- as the new tower will be sata (current is pata) anything to
watch out for when cloning-
I presume to login to current
dvc mgr
unistall ide controller
- clone
reboot and let windows find drive controller
TIA
and happy holidays
JP
