Greetings,

I'm new at this so, please forgive my ignorance.

Problem: Laptop(*) will not boot, goes through Windows 2000 Starting up..
then hangs.(HDD sounds like looking for files) then the infamous blue screen
appears:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x81569030,0xC0000006,0x00000
000,0x00000000)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

(*) Laptop Hyperdata 6133, os Win2K, BIOS R1.15, 164 MB RAM.
BIOS setup (F2) reports Hard Drive = 9590 MB

I loaded DOS from A: from an old disk "CD-Setup & Diag". Typing C: reported
"Invalid drive specification"

I would like to know if there is a way to determine if this is the result a
virus or simply that HDD is kaput.
Thanks in advance,

Manuel

I have seen this on NT, the father of win2000. Usually it
means your entire disk is one NTFS partition and a file
needed to boot is corrupted. Having the whole disk as an
ntfs partition was a lousy idea with NT, and it probably
still is. Try a re-install from the original CD.

....we see alot of these at work.....boot from W2K disk and run chkdsk from
repair console.....reboot and check the fragmentation....we still haven't
found the root cause, but this gets the system back up 90% of the time.
