What do you mean by "I can access both my drives"? How? Can you actually
boot into Windows?
You can look up the Stop Error here:

If yours matches the MSDN article for 0x000000a3, it seems to point to
either faulty drivers or bad hardware.
Did you install a driver? What kind of computer do you have? More details,
please.

Hi Malke
Thanks for responding. I will check out the link and see if I can fix
this.
I have not installed any new hardware or drivers for about a month, and that
was
a new DVD Writer which did not need any special drivers or software...
I am wondering if Windows Update might have upgraded a driver and that
is causing the problem. What is quite interesting is that Windows has not
stopped
and both my drives are working fine including the DVD writer.
My PC was built specifically for my needs, so it is not a typical brand name
pc.
