I have created the flash boot drive and booted from it. However, I have more than two choices on boot now. In addition to 1st, text mode and 2nd, GUI mode I have eight other options:
--> DEBUG, in case of HAL.DLL or NTOSKRNL.EXE not found <--
Debug boot rDisk 1 partition 2
Debug boot rDisk 1 partition 3
Debug boot rDisk 1 partition 4
Debug boot rDisk 2 partition 1
Debug boot rDisk 2 partition 2
Debug boot rDisk 2 partition 3
Debug boot rDisk 2 partition 4
I am looking to repair a Dell Laptop running Win XP Media Center 2005. The stop error I am getting on normal bootup is: 0x0000006B, (0xc0000034, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I have booted with Bart PE and tried to use several old restore points, no effect. Any suggestions?
