Hello there folks,
Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died
several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary
computing device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some
stuff on there that's not on my laptop.
FYI - the computer does attempt to Boot up - and even starts loading the
OS (WinXP Pro 64) - and comes up with the MS logo. But, during the boot
up - it eventually fails and drops to a BSOD screen - which is always a
lovely thing to see!
Someone on the list here (although he hasn't gotten back to me in a
while - and I think he has been busy and hasn't been checking e-mails
for a while) suggested I connect the main boot drive to another computer
- and run ChkDsk. Well, I tried connected it to my laptop - but, the OS
did NOT actually "SEE" the drive. I attempted to actually connect it
inside of my wife's PC - but, when it booted - Same thing - it was like
the OS could not "SEE" the drive!
So - I'm getting kinda desperate here - and hoping someone can help me
out. Again - if I put it BACK in the original PC - it does attempt to
Boot - but, then the BSOD comes up...
TIA,
-K-

Download a Linux LiveCD (or USB) and boot from that instead. If there is
not a hardware problem with the disk drive, you should be able to open the
hdd and browse for the files you need. Save them off to a USB tab, send
them to a shared network file share, or email them to yourself.

YEah - but, that's doesn't solve the main problem - that this PC won't
boot. Also, there is CG SW that's locked to that PC - and its Another
reason why I really want to get that PC running again.
It was initially suggested that I run a ChkDsk on the boot HD in
question - the do a Windows repair - to try and get it working again -
and keep all data & SW still functional - so, this is what I am still after.

Linux has tools to check and fix the drive as well. Might give you an idea as to what the problem is.
Trying to boot the drive in another computer is rarely a good or successful idea.

Where I can find out how to make the Linux Boot CD.
Also - U got me wrong - I did NOT want to Boot from the Bad HD - just
attach it and be able to access it from the OS after it was attached. I
attempted to run the ChkDsk from the Dead PC - but, it wouldn't work...

You can download an ISO from either then you can burn that to a CD or flash drive and boot your computer, hopefully, from there.

Kurt,
It's not my favorite process, but I did successfully (knock on wood)
reinstall a WinXP system on a BSOD computer last week. Something in the
boot process was causing it to freeze during boot. I just booted to a
WinXP CD, got into the Recovery Console.
Here's a link to the article that provided the info I used.

Where I can find out how to make the Linux Boot CD.
Also - U got me wrong - I did NOT want to Boot from the Bad HD - just
attach it and be able to access it from the OS after it was attached. I
attempted to run the ChkDsk from the Dead PC - but, it wouldn't work...

You might want to get a kit that allows you to connect to the sata drive
from your laptop via usb. I ordered one of those off the internet and used
it to pull data from a drive just a few weeks ago.

Subject: [NF] SATA Drive & a Dead PC...
Hello there folks,
Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died
several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary computing
device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some stuff on there
that's not on my laptop.
FYI - the computer does attempt to Boot up - and even starts loading the OS
(WinXP Pro 64) - and comes up with the MS logo. But, during the boot up - it
eventually fails and drops to a BSOD screen - which is always a lovely thing
to see!
Someone on the list here (although he hasn't gotten back to me in a while -
and I think he has been busy and hasn't been checking e-mails for a while)
suggested I connect the main boot drive to another computer
- and run ChkDsk. Well, I tried connected it to my laptop - but, the OS did
NOT actually "SEE" the drive. I attempted to actually connect it inside of
my wife's PC - but, when it booted - Same thing - it was like the OS could
not "SEE" the drive!
So - I'm getting kinda desperate here - and hoping someone can help me out.
Again - if I put it BACK in the original PC - it does attempt to Boot - but,
then the BSOD comes up...
TIA,
-K-
