I have the same problem. I tried booting my laptop up in all different modes (ie. safe mode, last know good configuration..etc) but I still get a blue screen with a 0x07b, inaccessable boot device error message. I there anyway to blow away everything and reinstall a new OS? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Try booting with your Windows 2K CD and use the Emergency Repair console or let Windows try and analyse and repair your files automatically.

If you're using the Repair console, use 'Chkdsk /f' to repair the HD. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Just in case you haven't already tried: physically remove the USB device and try booting.

I've had a few computers try and recognize my USB key before my HD when I've accidentally left it in.
