My Windows XP Media Center OS crashed and I get a blue screen with the ereror message: Bug Check 0x7B: INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. The only way I could get back into the system and try to salvage some of my files is with a Knoppix 5.1.1 DVD. The dvd sets up a Linux OS and I am following a tutorial by Cedric Shock, "Computer First Aid Using Knoppix". I tried copying the files and/or folders to a DVD+RW disc and to a 4GB Cruzer jump drive. Neither operation was successful. I would appreciate any help I can get so I can salvage my files before reinstalling my OS.
Thanks for the link. I went there and downloaded PE Builder v. 3.1.10a and installed it to my hard drive. However, when I clicked on my desktop icon to run installation launch to disc, I kept getting and error message: Invalid Souce Path (Cannot find file F:\i386\setupldr.bin). The same thing happened when I selected C instead of F. I tried it with a blank DVD+RW disc and with a blank CD-R disc. When I tried to install on F:\ the message was Drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another. I don't understand what is happening.
The only disc I have is a Dell Operating System Reinstallation CD for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition. I put this disc in my read-only drive and found the folder I386 and placed it in the source box. When I tried to access it, I got an error message "Invalid Source Path (cannot find file: E\I386\i386\setupldr.bin". If I need the Windows Installation disc, I guess I'm dead in the water. Any other ideas?
I did an advanced search and found one file which I copied to My Documents. When I tried to make the Bart PE disc, a message came up that the file could not be found, no matter where I searched. Do I have any more options or am I screwed?
I followed your instructions and found 2 files (very long ones) and plugged them into the source location and got the same message as before: Invalid Source Path. Cannot find file...The files that were found were a Program File and a Windows file. I tried both but to no avail.
