Stop Error Message

[T Diesen]

Starting up my IBM T20, using Windows 2000 Professional,
it started doing a check-disk run (claiming that it had
been scheduled. This is the first time this has happened,
and I don't remember scheduling it, being as I have not
ever run checkdisk on this system in a year and a half).

It made it thru steps/stages 1-4 fine, and then seemed to
lock up after spending 20 minutes checking the first 1% of
free space on the hard drive.

Trying to boot the system now results in a blue screen,
and a message: STOP 0x0000007B(0x8185F030, 0xC0000102,
0x000000000, 0x00000000) INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

If this is the first time you have seen this STOP error
screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears
again, follow 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 CHECKDSK /f to check for hard drive
corruption, and then restart your computer.

a) running the most recent version of Norton AV, with up-
to-date Virus definitions this morning did not find any
viruses, and this was the first bootup after that check.

b) There are no new hard drives or controllers. This is
the original, and there were no efforts to change config
or play with the wiring.

c) there is no way to run checkdsk, as the blue screen
appears as soon as the OS changes from the initial splash
screen.

HELP.

You can start the recovery console and from a command prompt issue the
command;
chkdsk /r
from the recovery console command line. (/r implies /f and /p)

To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000
Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup
floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,
use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks.
Press ENTER at the "Setup Notification" screen. Press R to repair a Windows
2000 installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The
Recovery Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do
not have the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk,
fixboot,and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been
validated, you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access
to the hard disk. You can only access the following folders on your
computer: %systemroot% and %windir%

Also you didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA,
or ATA100, or raid, or serial ATA), you may need to *F6* very early and very
important (at setup is inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive
controller detection, and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later
you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver
for your raid controller in drive "A"

Dave,

Thanks for the quick response. I have been trying to get
your advice to work.

As the t20 I have does not have a floppy disk, I set the
CD-ROM drive as the boot-from disk. I am still getting
the message initially mentioned. Any suggestions (I
see "boot from network" as an option, which I can probably
do early next week, take it into work and use that to set
the process in motion). I was just hoping that it would
be easier to do sooner in time.

Sounds like you're still not booting from the CD-Rom at this point. Possibly
look for the key stroke at POST to start from the CD-Rom drive or check the
mobo manual for instructions.

Thank you, I appreciate the help and suggestions.

Will keep trying. They truly are wonderful toys.. right
up to the point where they become glorified
paperweights.
