I have an Inspiron 6000 and it does not boot WinXP anymore.
- i did data analysis in Excel (around 30 000 data) and suddenly there was a shut down (with a counter of 40 s)
- the only thing left than was the desktop background screen, no more icons, no mouse pointer
- after restart there was the blackscreen with different start options of Windows, e.g. normal start, but all choices lead to an following blue screen with Error Code 0X00000024 (0X00190203, 0X82356110, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000)
- i startet the dell hardware diagnosis (incl. the special "bluescreen" and hard disk diagnosis) but all tests were passed
- now i tryed to get my datas, because there is really important research data, and last backup is one week ago
- i tryed with "Knopicillin": i could see the 3 partitions hda1, hda2, hda3 and i could also list the files on hda1 and 3 but not on hda2, the main partition with data
- i tryed also with "CIA Commander" and i got listet again the 3 partitions: C:Dell Utility, D: local Drive, E: Dell Restore. But at D: there were no files listed (Is there EFS Encryption? but i have only XP Home version).
What can i do now?
I would try to do a repair install of Win XP but i do not have my Recovery CD, as i am at Switzerland at the moment and my stuff is in Germany.
Is it possible to download somewhere a Dell Recovery (My Code i can get by telephone).
What can i do? I need my data so fast as possible back!
Hey Thanks! This helped a lot. I could view now the files on the partition. Some of the Word documents i could read the text, but most there were only strange symbols.
How can i copy the files to USB stick or CD? I tryed but got only the option to copy on the 2 other partitions.
Sorry to mislead you; didn't realize it was so limited. FAT or network drive appear to be the only options. Guess your Excel 'tables' won't fit on floppies ?
You have a fairly bad error there even if you got an XP SP2 cd and could work from the Recovery Console. Did you run test on your memory ?
Your Options ?:
Try these programs: knoppix, ubcd4win, partbe (bartpe has to be 'built' first); google these !
Put your hard drive in another xp system and try to copy data to cds is the only thing that jumps out at me.
