Hey guys, its joeshmo again. I've been having some technical problems. Here we go: Ok, so one day I pressed turn on in windows and left, the next day my computer is still on. So I turn the monitor back on and it says; Windows has run out of registry space and will not accept any more registry space commands or something of the sort. Since I didn't need my computer at the moment, I turned it on. I come home from school, turn it on and after it is finished booting and when its almost at the login screen, the computer reboots. I booted in safe mode, same thing. I messed with bios, same thing. So eventually I booted my version of livecd ubuntu linux. I get in, mount my harddrive with read write permissions in root, and view it. My hard drive is viewable but I cannot modify any files. I don't know what to replace even if I could modify files. I think its a problem with kernel32.dll . By this point, I was very scared. I got some packages for linux to write to NTFS format but they wouldn't work. So I found my windows backup DVD and popped it in and restarted. I got into DOS and I was in the A drive, which was natural because my dvd drive is A:. So I type: CD C:. It says: Drive not found, or something of the sort. so I try CD C:\, CD C:/ CD c: . None of which work, they all give me an error message. So I go to D: drive, my floppy drive and it works fine. I wanted to run chkdsk, so I type: chkdsk C: . It still can't find the drive. So what can I do? I think that my NTFS partition may be screwed, but I need a new hard drive to back up onto. I don't see how my NTFS could have been screwed up. The registry error is the only problem I found. But if it was, it wouldn't be accessable with linux or the windows boot process. It may also be my power suply, but I doubt it because linux still runs. What else could it be? Help is apreciated, thank you.
