the computer won't boot up.
my system is dimension8200 and it uses an eide wes-dig 120gb drive as primary device.
the problem started when shutting down computer the other day.
while "windows is shutting down" displayed on screen, power in my house went out.
tried booting computer up again, and got message "Dell's disk monitoring system has detected that drive 0 on the primary EIDE controller is operarting outside of normal specifications . . . "
the next message that appears is that the file windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt.
i am able to get to the f12 screen / setup utility.
i did ctrl/alt/d as osprey suggested for another client, and the test result from that concluded i have "error code 4".
1.) the twin beeps . . . does this mean there is problem with boot ?
2.) the four lights on at back of computer, abc=green, d=amber . . . what does this signify ?
3.) am i out of options in using the present drive as boot drive ?
