I just experienced the same exact error code. My system is down and
the Hard Drive (which is only a few months old) is not recognized by
the system. The system took a physical memory dump prior to shutting
itself down and now I can't get the system to restart. I don't believe
the hard drive has crashed because it attempts to seek information,
and the write up for the 0x0000008E error code I located on the
Windows site only refers to the following for the error code: SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Windows XP, you may randomly receive an error
message on a blue screen that references a bugcheck ID 0x0000008E
(KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) error. I don't believe this is the
same problem. Did you get your system up and running and if so what
did you have to do?
To whom are you speaking? You should 1) always quote a little of the
previous post for clarity; 2) not add your new post to someone else's
thread - this is called "hijacking". That said, the fact that you say
your hard drive is not recognized by the system indicates some sort of
hardware issue. Without knowing more about your computer specs and what
exactly you mean (is the drive seen in the BIOS and not Windows, etc.),
I can't give you a specific answer. You may want to start by testing
the memory and the drive. Post back with details about your computer if
you want more help.
