Hey,
I'm running Windows XP on an ex-(Australian)-army Panasonic Toughbook. It's got a new hard drive in it, because the old one was taken out and smashed before being sold (so. the army could protect it's secretzzz!!). It's got a touch-screen, as well as an MP slot, where I've got a CD drive, or I can swap it for a floppy.
At the moment on startup I'm getting the startup option screen, and after choosing my option (I've tried the three most obvious options - Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, Start Windows Normally - with no change) I get about 10sec of normal startup (with the XP logo etc.) before it goes to a BSoD:
"Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer."
*** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x83B34520, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I don't know what to do! Do I need to take it to a computer doctor? I'd really like to avoid that if possible, because I'm extremely poor at the moment, and my car has just died.
If someone could walk me through running CHKDSK from Command Prompt in Safe Mode that'd probably be cool.
Thanks
