CHKDSK results

My computer, upon booting, started to boot, and then went to a BSOD, with
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error.

I tried to boot into safe mode and last known good configuration, with the
same results.

It finally booted into Windows 2000 Pro by itself and immediately ran CHKDSK
on both partitions.

When it booted, I ran CHKDSK /f on the C: drive. The application event
logs only show "Cleaning up 153 unused index entries from index $SII of file
0x9." and "Cleaning up 153unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9."
No bad sectors are listed.


What I need to know is, what was the problem ?? Can CHKDSK have fixed
something (such as a device driver) and not listed it ?? Is there another
log file which could point to the possible error ??

TIA

The message usually means that Windows cannot find or recognize your drive's
controller. The controller or drive may be failing. I'd download and run the
manufacturer's utilities from their web site.

Dave,

I appreciate the response. So how do I "prove" that the drive controller
had a hiccup. This is an embedded computer in a VXI chassis. I need to
prove a root cause or risk having to change out the entire computer.

You might not be able to. But try the manufacturer's tools.
