  1. Hello again, Malwarebytes people! I had been posting on this topic with a problem with my son's laptop: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=90075&st=0 You closed the topic as I hadn't replied for a long while. This was because I had tasked my son with getting hold of a Windows Reinstallation disc, which he has now finally done! Hope you can continue to help! Just to recap, I have tried booting the PC with the Reinstallation disc. The computer is set to boot from CD. The CD drive whirrs, but Windows still does not load. I get this message:
  2. I have tried rebooting with or without the Windows DVD in Both give the WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER text as above.
  3. If I reboot, I get this message still: WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer 2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next". 3, Click "Repair your computer." If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. Status: 0xc000000e Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
  4. Boot was not an option.

  5. OK, you want me to reboot from the hard drive, yes?? In which case, yes, there is a difference! WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer 2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next". 3, Click "Repair your computer." If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  8. OK - going well. Got as far as Advanced and it doesn't offer a Boot choice. The options are Partition 1 P Dell Utility 2 * HPFS - NTFS [Recovery] 3 P HPFS - NTFS [OS] Do I want the first one?

  11. Hello again Just back at home after a few days away, so I am still doing this! I get the same error message when I run chkdsk C: /f: The type of the file system is NTFS. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? <Y/N> So I typed N and got the prompt you expected before: Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) So I typed Y and restarted and it runs through into Windows System Recovery. What do I need to do to press on rebooting to get it to run Chkdsk?
