Hi All

I have this situation I have a Dimension 9200 e6600 Processor XP pro OS Bios version 1.0.3.

Windows ran an auto update and now i get the following message

config\system is corrupt please use re-installation disk and press r to repair

I run the disk and i then get when the disk is still loading up the error code on a blue screen.

0x0000007b (0xf78d663c

the disk i have is a XP pro service pack 2 disk i have tried to change RAM and i have tried a different brand new hard drive the message still appears i have also replaced the motherboard battery. and i still get the same messages.

I also notice the Bios is old can anyone tell me if this could be the cause if so can I update the Bios without XP working?

Thanks for reading

    Hi Karl

    Thanks for the link i had already tried that without success. i have also taken the hard drive out and run a chkdsk /f on it and it fixed a couple of bad sectors. what gets me is when i put a virgin new hard drive in it still comes up with the same blue screen error code?

    Thanks

    Use the Intel® RAID Option ROM utility to create or delete a RAID volume before the operating system is installed on the hard drive.

    When RAID is enabled in System Setup, you can press during the RAID status message to enter the utility shown above.

    Configure System For RAID

    At some point, you can configure the system for RAID if you did not select a RAID configuration when you purchased the computer. You must have at least two hard drives installed in the computer to set up a RAID configuration.

    Before you can configure the system for RAID, you must set the system to RAID-enabled mode.

    Setting the Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode
    1. Enter System Setup.
    2. Press the up- and down-arrow keys to highlight Drives and press .
    3. Press the up- and down-arrow keys to highlight SATA Operation and press .
    4. Press the left- and right-arrow keys to highlight RAID On, press , and then press .
    5. Press the left- and right-arrow keys to highlight Save/Exit, and then press to exit System Setup and resume the boot process.
