[StephanHeine]

Hi all,

BSOD 7B (0x80699bb0,0xc0000034,0x00000000,0x0000000)
(Inaccesible Boot Device if I am not mistaken)

Vista Enterprise Edition
HP DeskTop system
IDE 40GB Disk

Hardware Diagnostics:
Memory Tests - Clean
Seatools - Clean

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Booted into Vista RE (From original DVD)

2. Select the Language

3. Select the Repair option
Installation is detected
Automatic Startup repair states that it was unable to fix the problem.

4. Select Command Prompt:

Chkdsk c: /F
Picks up errors but ends with Failed to transfer messages status 50.

sfc /scannow
Stopped by Windows Protection.

Restart.

Problem Persists

7. Followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391

Results does not change.

Can someone shed some light on my predicament?
I need to recover and use the current installation.
All help will be gratly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Stephan

Hi,

Yep, it means an inaccessible boot device. While the drive may be ok, the
file system may be corrupt. There are some steps here you can take:

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I had a look at the KB.

System's IDE cables were exchanged - Problem persists.

Other Notes on the system:
System's AV was up to date prior to the start of the issue (Server Logs
Confirm)
[System is in a controlled environment - i.e. I am the only user with access]
System does not carry a Dual Boot configuration.
System was running Vista without hic-ups for about 9Mths
Rescue envionment does see the Windows installation (IDE)

Questions:
CHKDSK does not fix the errors. Is there another way?
Can the disk be inserted and scanned as secondary without changing MRB info?

Any other suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks
Stephan

If the file system is corrupt, the most you can hope for is to get data
recovered from the drive.

Can the disk be inserted and scanned as secondary without changing MRB
info?

You mean MBR? Yes.
