On my laptop(no switched harddrives or motherboards) I tried to boot it and all of a sudden it came to a blue screen with the STOP: 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE message and i read many ways to fix it. One way in which you use the W2K cd to do a repair install wouldn't work. When i clicked to boot from cd, nothing happened and i am not sure wat to do. Please help. And I really don't wanna have to reformat my harddrive because I have alot of important information on it.
Thank You
If yoiu have a solution(step by step) please email it to macneil__miron@hotmail.com
Greatly appreciated

When you tried to boot on w2k CD and do a repair, did it boot?

Is it set to boot order: FD CD HD?
