My advice is reformating your hard-drive.

And, that's what I though I should do. Apart from obvious (like my thesis and saved games), what else do I need to save before doing it? Particularly, for system and Windows.
I have all original CD-ROMs and disks (being a good computer user
). Still, it's always worrying to reformat the hard drive.

Or if you are brave, enter safe-mode, and start deleting programs, drivers etc. backtracking your way through your system, but the way you descripe it, it seems like a windows error.

After the 24 hours struggle (literally, as I ran Disk Doctor all night. Woke up twice to check it, because it's in my bedroom.
), I really don't want to spend next 24 hours dealing with it, so I'll reformat.

The reason you most likely can't use your CD-RW from safemode, is because it dosen't load your drivers.
If you have a boot-disk, try that one, and see if you can access your CD-drive that way around.

Do you mean the boot-disk of Windows? I have that. Oh, I remember it mentioned something about CD-ROM driver...

(BTW - the error-code doesn't give a filename? - ei. Kernl386.exe or something?)
|
Nope. It only came up with loads of numbers and alphabets...
Does Microsoft expect us to understand that?
I can't even imagine what type of files/programmes they are, like .exe or .sys ...

Hope this helps somewhat, it is hard for me to help, when not having my hands on the computer |
Thank you for the advice anyway.
I know the SYM is the fastest place to get advice.
I really wish Buck will create a forum for computer system, hardware and windows etc. So, I can bombard the place with all my computer troubles...
