TheLast0ne 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.12.12 19:17:00 - [1] This goes out to CCP or players who know a fix. I was affected by this problem. My pc is now crap. I have one hard drive with 1 partition, when i put the windows xp disk it will load. Before the menu comes up to run recovery console ect... it crashes to the blue error screen. So I have taken my hard drive out, used a hard drive adapter to connect it to my work pc. Ran some updates to the boot.ini and still nothing. So now i have a computer that wont work. I would like a fix to this problem, any one have suggestions? Or maybe CCP would liek to purchase me a new computer? - TheLast0ne I like Chicken
LaVista Vista Corporate Research And Production Pty Ltd Zzz	Posted - 2007.12.12 19:19:00 - [2] If you have replaced boot.ini and it doesnt work, then chances are the boot.ini isnt the problem. In which case i dobut its due to any error on CCP's behalf. This signature is brought to you by EBankÖ, free space for moderators to brag.

If you applied the boot.ini fix and it didn't fix your issue, your issue is not boot.ini/trinity. Oh, and theres a clue in the fact that your PC BSODs in the recovery console. Almost certainly means faulty hardware, most likley a stick of RAM.
Trracer Foundation R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.12.13 13:17:00 - [6] Go here: http://www.memtest86.com/ Download bootable iso image, burn to cd, boot computer with cd, let the test loop for a couple of hours. If something is wrong with a memstick you will see it. Either you are for or against us, there simply is no other way
Ovno ConSyquence Amarr The Plebians	Posted - 2007.12.13 14:44:00 - [7] My mate was having a similar problem installing xp on his new pc in the end he took out half of his ram and it would let him install, or in your case should let you get to the recovery console. Once you've fixed the boot.ini and the computer is running again, stick the memory back in and it should work fine :) Just as a wonder you how much ram have you got?

TheLast0ne 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.12.13 15:52:00 - [9] heres the error i get: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen occurs 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 that it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer. Technical Information: *** STOP : 0x0000007B (0xF78E2524, 0xC00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I like Chicken
RaTTuS BIG Ka-Tet	Posted - 2007.12.13 15:59:00 - [10] if you have 1 drive and 1 partition and a basic install of windows XP then having no boot.ini will not matter - windows will recover fine. now if you have a dell which has partitioned your drive then you may have problems - as it is not as easy for windows to cope another thing to try [since you have another PC] is to slap the bad disk into the working one as the primary [take the existing one out] , and see if you can recover on that machine - [that may suggest a hardware problem on the main machine if it works] -- BIG Lottery, BIG Deal, InEve [Now Verified] & Recruiting
TheLast0ne 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.12.13 16:12:00 - [11] Edited by: TheLast0ne on 13/12/2007 16:13:35 yea it is a dell, but its still wierd. Why would i still get the boot.ini error when i dont run the windows xp disk? We can say its a hardware problem but windows still wants to start. I have a hard drive adapter so i can plug it into another pc. Is there anyway i can fix this damn boot.ini thing that way? I like Chicken

If the disk is sound then you have some other hardware issues. Look out for the ram. Take off half of it and try. How did you replace the boot.ini? from the backup or another computer? When this issue popped?
vache THE IRIS	Posted - 2007.12.13 16:18:00 - [13] Originally by: TheLast0ne Or maybe CCP would liek to purchase me a new computer? K. I can understand ur ****ed off, but you honestly think a software issue can be fixed with new hard ware? How about this. Take your HD back to work, back up your files, STFU moaning like you're the only one affected and reinstall windows and copy your files back like a grown up. I lost 750GB's due to this, but guess what, I'M OVER IT, and still love CCP

Kira Direll Niflhel TALIONIS ALLIANCE	Posted - 2007.12.13 16:32:00 - [17] Edited by: Kira Direll on 13/12/2007 16:34:12 hm? did you read it right? its a step by step solution to the known stop-errors. if its faulty hardware or missing/corrupted drivers (what i think it is) or a faulty mem-stick then no supportcall can really help. :) just try the suggested solutions or backup the files and reinstall if all fails. if you get a BSOD during install its faulty hardware that has to be replaced. edit: did you try this? The boot volume is corrupted and cannot be initiated by Windows XP. If the file system is corrupted and if Windows XP cannot initiate the boot volume during the startup process, either move the drive to another computer that is running Windows XP and run the chkdsk command on that drive or try to create a parallel installation of Windows XP on the drive (in a separate folder). The Windows XP Setup program checks the integrity of the volume before it copies files, and it may fix some problems in the process. --- Disclaimer: sadly, all dumbass opinions or expressions i make _do_ reflect on my corp. they might not reflect on individual members, but who am i to not take responsibility and act accoordingly?

Asestorian Domination.	Posted - 2007.12.13 16:49:00 - [19] I put your STOP error into google and it returned just one link, which is this one. Reading that, it does seem most likely that your issue is with the fact you are using a Dell computer. Primarily from this line: Quote: As I know, some computers only supports Windows Vista and we cannot install Windows XP on them as their manufactures have not developed Windows XP drivers accordingly. You may need to contact your computer manufacturer to confirm if Windows XP can be installed on your computer. Now, this obviously doesn't apply to you exactly, but using that we can see that it's known by Microsoft that manufacturers of computers, like Dell, use hardware that isn't generally compatible with certain things, which could be your problem here. I'd get in contact with Dell or Microsoft to see if you can get it sorted out. I'd also definitely make sure you backup all your data in case your forced to reformat the hard drive. --- MOZO
TheLast0ne 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.12.13 16:58:00 - [20] i acually fixed it. Dell computers are ********. They have a invisable partition. So i hooked my hard drive up to another computer made the boot.ini to boot from partition 2. This was pretty wierd since the bios said only 1 partition. well thanx for the help guys I like Chicken

Korran Minare Gallente Spaced Cowboys	Posted - 2007.12.13 19:00:00 - [22] makes me happy that my dell laptop is too old to run the premium content, however all i had to do on my desktop to fix my boot.ini issue was to use system restore to go back to the checkpoint it made the day before the patch and all was good, but since i dont turn my computer off at night it was easy to do this since i just had to login and quick fix it. Also helped that im a computer tech and deal with this kind of stuff on a daily basis. but yea dells can be tricky when it comes to their partitions nowadays Originally by: Korran Minare what would you put on space pizza anyway????
