If so, you probably found that the boot process is nothing like the processes DOS and Windows 95/98 use. In this article, we’ll explain the Windows NT boot process. As we do, we’ll show you several problems that can make Windows NT fail to boot and how to fix them.The boot processAs we mentioned, the Windows NT boot process is significantly different from that used by other operating systems. If you’re familiar with DOS or Windows 95/98, you may know that the computer loads IO.SYS followed by the MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM files. However, in Windows NT, none of these files exist (unless you’re running a dual-boot system).When you boot Windows NT, your computer first looks at the boot stamp on your hard disk. The boot stamp is an area reserved by your computer’s BIOS—its primary function is to tell the computer which file to load first. In DOS and Windows 95/98, the boot stamp tells the computer to load IO.SYS. However, on computers running Windows NT, the boot stamp points to the NTLDR file. The NTLDR file begins the boot process. The computer then loads NTDETECT.COM and NTOSKRNL

Can http://www.hivmr.com/db/c8d3xz9mxfxmjdp9xmdakdj989fmmjja anyone suggest what I should do next?

I then tried to boot the XP Recovery Console [Windows professional] but, it prompts for 'Administrators Password'. I have tried [what I thought was the correct p/w], and also have tried entering blank....BUT it rejects any attempt at a password.3. I then searched the web for a password altering program....BUT is this a good way to proceed?What are my other options ?

Anyway, Will a fresh install overwrite everythng on the E: drive? Terry according to microsoft, that code doesn't just mean that your registry files arecorrupt. it means 1. your hard drive is incompatible with windows 2. your hard drive is damaged.
