This things happens to me more often at customers place(being sevice
engineer)
1) boot with NT CD , try with Repair option if u have emergency
repairdisk(latest) use it or try with NT CD...select BOOT SECTOR/STARTUP
ENVOIRMENT
2) IF ABOVE DO NOT WORK TRY TO UPGRADE THE NT (YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SEVICE
PACK CD WITH YOU WHICH YOU HAVE ON YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE CRASH BCOZ
UPDRADATION WILL MAKE NT TO SERVICE PACK 1)
3)IF ABOVE NOT NOT WORK , FIRST TAKE BACKUP OF ALL DATA ...SCAN THE HARD
DISK BY CONNECTING ON ANOTHER SYSTEM FOR VIRUSES
4) IF NO VIRUS FOUND REINSTALL FRESH NT AS U HAVE ALREADY HAVE TAKEN OFF
DATA BACKUP

Other thing you can do is try and install a second version of the OS in
another directory and boot to that and then replace the NTdetect if you can
get that far.

I guess they figgered it was a Dev box, and said to hell with the backups.
That was my first question. I think I'm gonna try the screwdriver
approach... as we have no drives or boxes to replace it with. Gotta live
dinosaurs. They are using the QA environment right now, so I have some time
to play... but not too much of course. I'm currently trying to see if we
have any of these in storage that we might be able to get some drives to
replace it out of.

What no backups? Tsk Tsk Jen, All you need to do is put a new drive in
install base OS and restore if you did.... Take a screwdriver and give the
drive a good thock. That should tell it whose boss...

Hi gang -
We now return you to our regularly scheduled Friday Night Horror
flick.....
*crap* Ok, so I have an NT4 test server for Siebel. It's a mirror of
production and has been running fine for years. It blue screened and the
Siebel admin rebooted the box. It comes back up with Disk I/O Error:
Status 00001000. Then NTDetect runs detecting hardware. It comes back with
the Disk Error and tells me, NTDETECT Failed.
So, I have tried to boot from the NT4 CD, same thing happens. Tried to
boot from a floppy disk, same thing happens, but I do get my A: prompt. But
I can't get to my C: drive. I ran FDisk, and I can see the partitions are
there. But I can't access them, so I can't run scandisk. The machine can
see the drives, I can access them in the Adaptec SCSI Utility. I don't know
*what's* going on with this box... so I'm hoping that someone has recovered
from this. This is a box that I would like to keep the OS intact if
possible. I can't even rebuild it yet, but can if that's necessary.
The box is a POS black box edition... no vendor, piecemeal parts. Dual
PIII 850s with 1G of RAM.
Thanks,
Jen
