Solve : Weird thing on Windows 2000 professional.?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hey guys, I work at a small boys and girls club type of place that has a little comptuer lab for kids to do their homework and projects and such, most of them work fine except for one. When booted up I get this message:<br/><br/>"*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x8186C3D0, 0xC0000032, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)<br/>INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE<br/><br/>If this is your first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a>. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:<br/><br/>Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. <br/>RUN CHKDSK/F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.<br/><br/>Refer to your Getting Started manual for more information on troubleshooting Stop errors."<br/><br/>The thing is, no matter what I can't get on the computer to check for viruses. When I press F8 to go into the booting setting like Safe Mode, if I click it, it loads until giving this message.<br/><br/>As I said before were like a Boys and Girls club that offers not a lot of help in terms of "Computer Tech" we have someone on the payroll I think that really has no idea what he is doing.<br/><br/>The computer has been down for a while and I can't think up any reasons. Any help from you guys? Thanks for any input.The first thing I would suggest is to take the drive out of the machine and slave(insert the drive as a secondary drive) it to another machine. Hopefully when you boot the OS of the good machine it should detect the problem and repair it. If not run chkdsk /f [driveletter] when you get into Windows. This is a very common problem where I work and I would say that 90% of the time this resolves that issue.<br/> Another thing that you could try is when you boot the machine hit the F8 as you did before. Than use the "<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/last-2782539" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LAST">LAST</a> known good configuration" option. This should restore the machine to a known last good <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/state-21805" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STATE">STATE</a>. This works on occasion, but you may be too far along for this option. <br/> Couple other causes could be a bad driver install, bad software install, or bad drive itself. If it's a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dell-12895" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELL">DELL</a> machine they have great diagnostics that you can download for each of their machines. Go to their site and download the diags and make the disks on a working machine. Than boot up the troubled machine with the disks. Just select the drive test because every other test never finds a problem.<br/> Barring it not being a physical drive problem XP you would be able to fix this with sytem restore easily(if it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/goes-1732621" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GOES">GOES</a> through that is.) Being that the machine is Windows 2000 other than what I listed theirs really not much you can do.<br/> All is not lost because worst case scenario is rebuilding the machine and you can have that done in no time. It's a bit of a pain, but it's no biggie. The data is the most important thing. Good luck.</p></body></html>
