Solve : Windows 2000 Pro won't load, Dos command only?

Answer» <html><body><p>My computer goes to DOS at the command line and won't<br/>start Windows 2000 Pro. At first what happened is a blue screen with a <br/>message about how it was unable to access the drive ? <br/>I used a bootdisk to see if I could load from there, and now I'm able<br/>to access the C command line and that's it. <br/><br/>My PC is a Dell Latitude C610 w/ Windows 2K Pro installed. <br/><br/>Is there some way I can load Windows from DOS? I tried one command<br/>and I received a message saying that it had bypassed the startup files.<br/><br/>It's also possible that a registry cleaner I used before restarting the computer<br/>could have erased something important. <br/><br/>Thanks and regards<br/>Soniayou have what we call the blue screen of death (bsod)<br/><br/>when did this start??<br/><br/>have you made any changes to the system? hardware software??<br/><br/>UW, he already said he used a registry cleaner. Unfortunately he did not say what. Some are a recipe for disaster.<br/><br/>The exact error message is important.<br/><br/>Make sure the hard drive is securely fitted if it is removable from the outside of the computer.<br/><br/>Do you have a real Windows CD, a Dell restore CD or what to work with?<br/><br/>Do you see the Windows logo before the error message?<br/><br/>The boot disk is not going to be particularly helpful except we know that the machine will boot from the CD drive and it may have functional hardware.<br/><br/>More info is always helpful.Quote from: GX1_Man on May <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/11-243645" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 11">11</a>, 2007, 05:29:10 AM</p><blockquote>UW, he already said he used a registry cleaner.

Unfortunately<br/>I didn't write down the blue screen message, after I used the bootdisk<br/>I put in a command, I think it was sys c, for the PC to load from the hard disk.<br/><br/>The next time I restarted it instead of the blue screen I had the black<br/>command screen. <br/><br/>I don't have a restore CD but I might be able to find one.<br/><br/>I might have downloaded a new firewall also, Kerio but I don't think it was<br/>installed yet. <br/><br/>I'm really concerned about the data on the hard drive, I have family<br/>photos I never uploaded online so I'm really hoping I can at least <br/>retrieve that. <br/><br/>SoniaEusing, i use this one..<br/><br/>if its <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/desktop-949558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESKTOP">DESKTOP</a> then just slave it to another computer and see if you can get the data you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/want-1448756" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WANT">WANT</a>..<br/><br/>you dont have ant-virus or anti-malware on this computer??No, it's a laptop, does slave to another computer mean using the hard disk<br/>on another one? We have a desktop also but I have no idea how to go about that. <br/><br/>I did have antivirus software , I took it off in the plans of installing a new<br/>better one, and didn't in time it seems... I did do a command of dir c:<br/>in dos and looks like at least some of it's there although I don't know <br/>what I'm doing in dos. <br/><br/>I've also used Eusing and had no problem with it.<br/><br/>You might get an external enclosure for a 2.5 inch hard drive, put your laptop drive in it, and then connect it to your desktop computer, assuming you have USB on your desktop. <br/><br/>Here's one: <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16817423003">iMicro IMBS25A-SI Aluminum 2.5" USB 2.0 External Enclosure - Retail </a>Quote from: unlovedwarrior on May 10, 2007, 09:50:51 PM<blockquote>have you made any changes to the system? hardware software??<br/></blockquote>I'll <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/look-544452" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOK">LOOK</a> into the hookup for the desktop thanks, as far as<br/>any hardware/software changes, no hardware changes. I installed software<br/>from kworkshop.com recently. I also uninstalled some I don't remember.<br/><br/>I don't remember what the blue screen message said but it was something<br/>about how it couldn't access my hard drive. I was thinking maybe<br/>whatever accesses the hard drive is not enabled? I can't log into<br/>safe mode at all. The last time I restarted it I did see the Windows logo<br/>come up for a second before the dos screen came up again. <br/><br/>Quote from: soybean on May 11, 2007, 11:29:17 AM<blockquote>I've also used Eusing and had no problem with it.<br/><br/>You might get an external enclosure for a 2.5 inch hard drive, put your laptop drive in it, and then connect it to your desktop computer, assuming you have USB on your desktop. <br/><br/>Here's one: <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16817423003">iMicro IMBS25A-SI Aluminum 2.5" USB 2.0 External Enclosure - Retail </a><br/></blockquote><br/>I'm amazed at the pricing on that soybean...i paid 7 bucks for just the 2.5" to IDE adapter cable just 2 months ago.<br/><br/>Nice find.I'll be getting that external hard drive holder, thanks Soybean : )</body></html>
