Hello all,
I have an interesting problem I'm hoping someone here can help me out
with.
My system is in a continuous reboot mode. I never makes it to
Windows, only to bios.
I have started the recovery console and can sucessfully access the
system drive. Running fixmbr returns a messages that the master boot
record is invalid. Answering yes to the prompt to attempt to fix it
returns a message that the mbr was fixed. But, subsequent fixmbr runs
return the same invalid mbr message. I have verified the device and
that is correct.
Chkdsk returns a message about unrecoverable errors.
Fixboot indicates that the boot record has been sucessfully repaired.
None of these efforts have corrected the problem (any other
suggestions are welcome).
I would like to copy the contents of my "corrupt" system drive to
another drive, then rebuild the system drive and put the files I can't
re-install back on the system drive after I get the rebuild done.
The problem I'm having is I get "Access is denied" messages when
trying to create directories on the non-system drive. As a matter of
fact, I can't even run a "dir" command on the non-system drives from
the recovery console. I'm not sure how to get around or remedy this.
I am logged on as administrator in the recovery console (I can
successfully pass the admin/pwd challenge).
To me, what I'm trying to do seems like really basic stuff (copy files
from one drive to another), but this access issue is bugging me.
Just of reference, the only way I can see the data on the corrupt
system drive is via recovery console. I have full rights to the
corrupt system drive via the recovery console. I can sucessfully
create and delete directories and delete files.
All of these errors are the apparent result from a power failure at my
house (a very quick blip).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg Wilkerson
