I think I really may have stepped in it here. Tonight I tried to increase
the size of my C drive partition on my desktop from 40gb to 80gb using
Partition Magic. C is the only partition, the other 40gb was unallocated,
the drive is an 80gb Maxtor 7200 IDE (not sure of the correct description
but it's not a SATA drive). The boot went past the Windows spalsh screen but
after that to BSOD. Not connected to the Internet, antivirus was disabled,
GoBack was turned off, and the Partition Magic screen progress messages
during the operation seemed normal. Here is the BSOD message, which
reappeared after rebooting as well:

<STOP (lots of numbers)

Inacessible boot device.

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your
computer.If this screen appears again, folloew these steps.

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives
or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly
configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption
and then restart your computer.

Refer to your Getting Started manual for more information on troubleshooting
STOP errors.>

FWIW, I'd just done a thorough AV scan.

This may be more than I can fix myself, but the place to find that out is
here.
