Problem: Operating System > Operating System: Windows XP Dell Demension 8200 > Problem Description: When I attempt to do a complete check disk run (automatic fix... and scan and attempt recovery...),I reboot and the process starts, phase 1 completes but about 20% into > "verifying indexes", I get this error message: > ***STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005,0xF7BDBC27,0xF8981840, 0xF8981540) > ***tbcspud.sys-Address F7BDBC27base at F7BC3000, Datestamp3b8d7887 (I can do the scan for and attempt recovery,without the reboot) I moved some files from my old system with a "Detto Intellimover" and I'm wondering if I moved an illegitimate driver or something that might be causing the stall.I've been on the phone with Dell for hours but can't get it resolved. Any suggestions other then a clean reinstall of Windows (which was their final option)? Thanks Steve > > > >

no replys yet steve i guess we are telling you something you dont want to do..

You do not have to reformat or lose any information, I didn't, which is what my computer manfacturer tech said I would have to do when I called them. I called MicroSoft and they walked me thru it. The process is; To get your machine operating again, turn the computer on with the OS CD already inserted in the drive, as soon as you see a prompt for "repair or recover" hit the space bar, DO NOT HESITATE as the prompt only lasts for a few seconds and then proceeds to install the operating system which would cause you to lose everything. By doing this it will allow you to enter the DOS command of "chkdsk /R", then hit enter and sit back while it fixes itself. This process will take about 45min to an hour or more depending on how messed up it is. Once it has finished, it should automatically reboot itself and come back 100% without any loss of programs or information. As I understand it, CheckDiskRepair, checks & repairs c:\ drive by comparing it to D:\ drive, as below. However, if D:\ drive also has problems, you must use the uncorupted files on the operating system's CD to achieve the repair, as above. By the way, this DOS Comand of "chkdsk /R" is a great command to remember. I have used it a number of times since then to work out a few bugs, but once your up and running, you enter the command thru Start~Run or Start~Programs~Accessories~Command Prompt Good Luck, Jack Bauder
