I think I tracked down the source of my problem. Either the bios is messed up, a bad system partition, a bad MBR, or a bad boot sector.

And to think, this whole thing started because of a power outage while I was deleting a couple of files

 

Well it doesn't really sound like you identified the problem you just listed every section of the CPU but good job anyways

 

Sounds like he havin fun for a sat night...

 

tecnically he didnt list a thing of a cpu :D L2 cache, socket type are parts of the cpu, he mentioned motherboard, harddrive.


lucky - try fdisk /mbr

 

lmfao i was just thinkin the same thing

 

Oooook! He listed everything INSIDE the CPU! Smart ***

 

u mean computer case, the cpu is the processor, not the whole box


kidna like saying your photoshoping while in ms paint

 

NERDs!!!!!!!

 

I haven't slept in two days. Well maybe for about an hour total....


Anyways, won't fdisk delete the partitions? Meaning I'll lose everything on that's there?

 

the "fdisk /mbr" just redoes the master boot record

 

i'd just go out and buy a new intel chip, actually i'd call the manufacturer and let them sell it to me

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO, I left out dustbunnies

 

Well, it KINDA worked. Ran the fixmbr and fixboot commands here, slaved the HD to my ma's computer, which allowed me to run chkdsk and the HD booted up. Was able to pull off the info that I wanted to keep.

But took the HD back home, ran an in-place upgrade reinstall several times, and I keep getting the same error. "load needed DLLs for kernel".
