Solve : Not getting the "Boot"? |
|
Answer» I'm running on a Windows 2000 machine, but recently, I've been getting a boot partition error. I've tried unplugging/replugging in the data cable and running the system disk's "repair" option, as both have worked in the past, but to no avail. *got lucky and ejected the CD before it could load*??The system disk...that message flashes for maybe half a second before the system disk starts loading. I got lucky and ejected the disk, which stopped it from loading.Now, wait a sec. Why did you have Windows CD in? Are you still getting same error, since you removed CD?Yep...putting the CD, and using the "Repair" option was how i fixed it one time, the other being the unplug and replug thing.You may have hard drive problem. Run diagnostics: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287Also, you could use the repair console on the Win 2000 disk to run a chkdsk and also, a fixboot. So u run your W2000 CD and at the first screen you will read it says push r to run recovery console...do this. It will scan for existing W2000 partitions and will give you the option of which one to load, push 1 then enter. If you have an administrator account password you will need it. then at the PROMPT, type chkdsk /r and then push enter, let it run through. Then once this is done, type fixboot, push enter, then push y, then enter again. Type exit to restart the machine and see if it boots.I got it running...and all I did was use a different power supply plug this time. I can't remember if that's what i did last time, but i'm wondering if the power supply was at fault for the previous times as well now. Does that sound like something the power supply would do to you guys?it could if the molex connector was faulty Quote from: Kurtiskain on January 15, 2009, 02:54:02 PM it could if the molex connector was faulty molex being the "red, black, black, white" set of cords?Quote from: Hiaki on January 15, 2009, 03:36:19 PM Quote from: Kurtiskain on January 15, 2009, 02:54:02 PMit could if the molex connector was faulty Quote from: Hiaki on January 15, 2009, 03:36:19 PM Quote from: Kurtiskain on January 15, 2009, 02:54:02 PMit could if the molex connector was faulty White? mine are red, black, black, yellow...but meh different power supplies I guess. Seems to be the same If the power connector was not fully connecting on a grounding pin, it would half work because one 12V line would still function eg the disk would still spin up or be detected, but not actually "function" Edit: I see Dias got there first ...Well, I was looking THROUGHT the case, which has a blue light supplied by the side fan, so the yellow looked white. But okay....that's what I was refering to, and I now know the proper name of it. Really appreciate the help, guys. |
