Yesterday afternoon I ran an 'analyze' on Ccleaner, during the process I got up to go do something, and the power went out. When the power came back on I attempted to start my computer again and I began recieving a BSOD 'Bad_system_config_info'
I've checked my ram, as it seems thats what that BSOD is usually about, and it seems ok, I've swapped it out, and used the other 2 RAM slots and I still continued to recieve the error.
I cannot boot up into windows using anything, not even safe mode.
I figured I would try to repair the boot drive using the XP CD. It says I have a non-standard or damaged boot record or something when I type in FIXMBR, but it would let me still repair it.
The problem now lies in the fact that it says it may destroy or make my partitions unuseable once i'm finished. I do not want to loose anything on the other partition on this drive. It is a 160GB drive and I partitioned it something like 40-50GB for Windows and related matter, and the rest for everything else.
If I go ahead with the repair, is it only a small chance that I might loose my partition? I have 2 other hard drives, ones broken, and the other I cannot install a windows onto without loosing all the data on that one.
Is there a fix? Other than reinstalling windows?
