Solved: STOP: 0x0000007b error (0x8180dc50, 0xc0000032

i got a window 2000, that has been used for simple stuff like web browsin, aim ect. and one night it had a hard time shutin down, so i just pressed and help power button, i did same thing next night. well tonight i got the famous STOP: 0x0000007b error (0x8180dc50, 0xc0000032, ect...) error and i was wondering how can i fix this? i found on the other site that 0xc0000032 means that i need to run chkdsk /f, but thats not possible since it wont start

 

Maybe something here could be of help http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822052.

 

First step – boot the system through the windows 2000 CD. Go into “Repair” and go into the Recovery Console.
Once you get onto the recovery console- type the following – chkdsk /r
This repairs the windows installation.

Once this is done, restart the computer.

After restarting- if the same error occurs, then there is a high possibility of a virus.
This is usually caused by boot sector virus. Just by formatting and re-installing the OS it usually wont erase the virus, so you would be required to do a complete Debug, partition, format and reinstall. On doing this, you will loose ALL your data.

 

well it is a windows 2000, will the same thing work?
