Laptop Inspiron 8100 Hard Disk crashes?

jason_in98 · 02-27-2007, 09:51 AM

I was on my laptop, Inspiron 8100, and everything was fine, no errors or anything. Took a break and when I came back my computer had a black screen. I tried to restart and it goes to the dell load page and windows Vista page but that’s it. It goes back and forth between the two pages. A blue screen pops up between them for about half a second. I took a picture of it so I could read it, the error code is 0x000000ed. After this when I restarted my laptop it showed me disk boot failure. Every time I tried to recover the HDD I failed and got the same message.

Were you able to see any of the other numbers on the blue screen? The full error code should look like this: STOP 0x000000ED (0xaaaaaaaa,0xbbbbbbbb,0xcccccccc,0xdddddddd)

If 0xb is 0x00000032 then try booting into the recovery console (if it still exists in vista, I assume it does) and run 'chkdsk /r' If that doesn't fix it run 'fixboot'

I had similar problem. While installing Windows Vista, my HDD crashed. I tried every possible thing to get my data back. But, problem was I recreated partition table and data recovery seemed to be difficult. I contacted Salvage Data Recovery Lab at 76 Progress Drive Corporate Park; Stamford, CT 06902. They provided me the right software and
guided me to recover data. Thanks for their service and help. I got 100% of my data back.
