Besides life in general hitting the fan today, my Dell decided to take a shit.
Specs
Dell Dimension 8400
3.2mhz
2 x 160gig HD
2gig RAM
other goodies
Wife used the PC today, worked perfectly, shut down fine. I try to use it, and get -
---- \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SAM missing or corrupt.
Try a few things, then get
---- \SystemRoot\System32\Config\DEFAULT missing or corrupt.
Try a few things, then get
---- \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY missing or corrupt.
Try a few things, then get
---- "unknown Hard Error"
I am thinking the HD took a shit, don't have a scandisk disk. I am posting this from an ancient POS Windows 98 PC... any suggestions welcome.
