w2k blue screen on boot up

[tenthirty]

i keep getting the blue screen while booting up. it occurs right after the black screen with the status bar at the bottom. once the status bar is loaded, it goes right into the blue screen. i can't even get it to boot in any of the safemodes. i think it is stopping because of an ntos kernel trap.

is there any work around to get it booting so i can back up some files? any help would be very much appreciated!! i'm sure you guys understand how frustrating it is when you've tried everything...

I had similar problem back in august. On my blue screen it said that NTOSKRNL.EXE was corrupted. I wasn't able to save it mainly because I hadn't made an ERD. I finally figured out that the promise controller went out on my A7V probobly the cause of the corruption.

Anyhow, have you tried booting the windows 2000 cd and using the recovery console? If you haven't try that and if you made an ERD you shouldn't have any problem. If you didn't it still may work.

If you can't recover it remove the drive and put in another computer, 2000 or xp machine if you are using NTFS. Then burn your files on cd.

yea, i just tried booting up with the 2000 cd and that still goes to the blue screen. i think i may be out of luck... i think my only option left is to install my drive on another computer and backup my files. thanks anyways

Are you doing any kind of oc'ing? I've had responses like that when I'd try and push the oc'ing too far...

no overclocking at all

what about reparing it with the win2k bootable cd?

if it's a Kernel thingie it might just do the trick. (or not, so but like you said: backup [first] ).

Good Luck,

i've tried using the w2k cd to repair but it just says, volume is unrepairable and then it quits.

Actually, it's usually hardware when Win2K fails (or a nasty configuration error made by the end-user).
