If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options Recently during booting I discovered a momentary message: MBR Error 2. In
other group (hardware) I got some suggestions: HD going bad, use Recovery
Console to fix it, etc. I diagnosed drives (WD - considerably new) with WD
diagnostics - drives are ok, according to tests. Using Command Prompt I set
"chkdsk /f" to run at booting. It run but only 3 steps and not 5 (like for
/f option).
Then at next boot I started Recovery Console. It started load then I
received BSD with a stop info:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
One of MS option for this error on this blue screen (and in KB) is - virus.
Since "MBR Error 2" refers to Master Boot Record (as I learned) so - boot
sector, I guess.
Or not.
I'm not a such expert as most of you but - it seems logical to me.
