Alright all you NT Gurus out there... I need a Thanksgiving Day miracle... After two years of using Windows NT, I now have the famous Blue Screen of Death! I think I took a disk hit. The Event Log showed some disk errors, so I rebooted with CHKDSK and it found and corrected some errors. I suspect that the Kernel is now damaged, my email program thinks it needs to be freshly installed, AOL/IM fails, etc. etc. etc.. I tried booting to floppies and requesting a Repair, but my original CD was SR1 and I had already upgraded to SR3. After running through that, it still fails (plus I had to skip a few files not found on the CD). I tried running the procedure with a co-worker's SR2 version, but it didn't work. Couldn't get the procedure to read from the CD. It just kept saying to press ENTER. I then tried the floppies again, this time requesting a new load. It then complained about not having a disk drive to use for the new load. (My C drive was all NTFS.) Now the boot goes to the logon screen, the crashes a few seconds later all by itself. Besides going out to buy a 16-guage shotgun, what should I do to save my disk?
