I get that message ( in the title) when trying to boot windows. This happened to me earlier today and I used system restore to get back to the desktop, but after about 5 minutes the OS started lagging out and I restarted, and upon restart I got the error again. I'm trying system restore again and I'm gonna try to run chkdsk, but I wonder if anyone else has any ideas as to how I could fix this? I really don't want to format, I just finished reinstalling, customizing and tweaking the hell out of vista yesterday and I really don't want to do all that again. -- InfernoX |

Hi,
You may have a failing hard drive. Download and run a manufacturer's diagnostic tool to confirm this. Backup critical data now. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "InfernoX" wrote in message ...
