Hi,

I just turn my PC on, and windows 2000 stops at the openingsscreen. It simply won't go further, and I see all blocks and striped in stead of the normal windows 2000 Logo. (it's not my vga card :))

No I have an Ghost image, so I thought I just put that one back.
But that didn't help. No I formatted C and installed windows 98, that works, but when I put an ghost back, doesn;t matter which one(from last week, last month etc) windows 2000 won't boot good again. DAMN, do you ppl have any idea what to do? Maybe a bad sector or so? Windows 98 sections control crashes as well.

Is it a good idea to install partition magic 7 and make c:\ very small. Just enough to install the ghost back. SO the change is smaller to have the bad sector on that new C?

All suggestions are welcome pls help...

Thnx
Andre

use scandisk / norton disk doctor and see if there are any bad sectors....

if there are ..either throw the hdd away (LOL) and make a new partition which doesnt include these new bad sectors

laters,
Chris

The exact same thing happend to me when my IBM Deskstar crashed. If you have an IBM, try to run the DFT. You can download it from their site.
