dumping physical memory and STOP error

found a possible workaround: if your OEM was nice enough to load the i386 folder onto your computer than you can use the PEBuilder (BartPE) to make a rescue CD! Just point the PEBuilder to your i386 folder and it does the rest. neat stuff.

so I FINALLY got a working BartPE disk with ChkDsk and I ran it...no luck. It stops on 9% saying that there was an error hyperfil.sys and then it asks me to fix it, i say yes, and then chkdsk stops. doesn't fix my problem. any way to get chkdsk to finish checking/fixing?

The chkdsk application completely stops? What does the hard disk do during this time? Light constantly on?

To me it sounds like you've got a serious hard disk problem, having nothing to do with software or XP.

yeah...it seems that way to me as well. trying to just get into windows to back up my files.

I run chkdsk saying it should automatically fix errors and then it runs but stops at 9%. Just says it found some bad sectors, should chkdsk fix it, I say yes, and then it just stops saying there is an error with hiberfil.sys. I know that's a big file that is with hibernation and people recommend deleting it but i can't cause I can't get into windows (supposedly you can only delete in from within windows)

From BartPE you can delete it. Do so and run chkdsk again and tell us what happens.

Can you answer the first line of questions in my previous post? Thx....

 

[DragonReborn]

sorry, i will run chkdsk again and see what the harddrive is doing

how would I go about deleting the file from within BartPE?

Boot BartPE. Open one of the file management utilities you put into PE, or open a commandline window. Delete the file (del c:\hib*.sys); you might need to change properties on the file to permit that.
