Use these disks to boot to the Recovery Console prompt: (the 'repair' option)
and run the command:

CHKDSK /R

I have the same kind of problem exept I had installed and working great for
quite a while. Then yesterday it crashed for no reason. but I have used on my
other computers so now the product key does not work. Is there anyway I can
get windows Home Edition working again?

In future please start a new thread rather hijack another thread.

Please post a copy of the Stop Error report.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing the F8
key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on
system failure. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure.
Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

What is your computer make and model?
