I have a W2K system that suddenly locked. I had not noticed any slow downs or other booting problems. I shut my computer down while my cell phone was still charging thru the USB port. I don't know if that could have caused the problem to begin with. anyway, when I realized my cell phone was still attached, I unplugged it and rebooted the computer. I was promptly met with the following
***STOP:0x0000007b(0x81EAE190,0xC0000032,0x00000000,0x00000000) Inaccessible_Boot_Device
I followed the onscreen suggestion and restarted my system. same screen I even plugged the cell phone back in and restarted same screen. The reason I am writing you guys is all the online help seems to be addressing WinXP or installing something. I was not installing anything. I have W2K pro. I just want to get my files off that system, I have since bought a new laptop (well actually 2 laptops) But I really need to get into the old system if it is at all possible. I really don't think the cell phone had anything to do with it, but I don't know that for sure. All the links I have googled send me to microsoft's website which most links for the W2K solution no longer work or they are addressing the installation of WIN XP. I cannot seem to find an answer that addresses my system W2K Pro installed on a Compaq EVO W4000 workstation. Is it possible to get help directed towards my system or is it just too late?:sweat: thanks in advance :icon_razz:
