BSOD/Crashing Problem, please help!

[Jonesi]

I was using the pc, using a little program for sorting out custom game files...when I use it it makes the case speaker beep, so I asked the BF to unplug it for me cos it was annoying, he did and the pc bluescreened and I havn't been able to boot up since.

First I was getting

Unrecognised partition for drive 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft compatiable F Disk tool (Err:23)

then we got

Disk Boot Failure Insert System Disk

now we're gettin

disk.sys PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

stop 0x00000050

Sometimes the hard drive isn't being recognised but mostly it is. I've tried booting up with a backup IDE hard drive and using the crashing one as a slave, that doesn't work. Can't use the repair function with Vista as the drive doesn't show up, tried using the cmd to scan but it can't find C or D...now when I boot up it says "Windows is loading files" for about 5 mins whilst the white bar fills up and then it goes into the screen with "Microsoft Corporation" on it with the flashing bar then it blue screens and I get the disk.sys error.

Can't boot in safe mode, the files load and then just stop....I have no idea how unplugging a speaker can cause so much trouble but it has....any ideas at all besides formatting?

Thanks, Natalie x

Apparently the board on that system requires the speaker to plugged in in order to complete a fail safe circuit for the prebuilt system you have there. The open case alarm and a few other things in the bios can easily be disabled. But that wouldn't be the cause for the problems you are seeing.

The 3rd party tool organizes? game files or interferes with the new version of Windows and the proper drive/boot information. Evidently that is rasing havoc with the preinstalled copy of Windows there. You will now likely have to perform a full recovery in order to get everything corrected as well as dumping that program.
