Hmmmm.....my XP box won't boot anymore. No safe mode. Nothing. Just a blue screen with a fatal error. The first code is c000021a and the status code is c0000034.
I ran a bunch of diagnostics junk. Some of the tests so far have indicated some hard-drive problems. Some have indicated no such thing.
Of course, I initially assumed that my hard drive had a problem, mostly because I've been feeling guilty about not having a removable backup drive. Of course, now I'm feeling REALLY guilty about it.
Anyways, some of the digging I've done on this indicates a possibility of a problem with a Domain. Of course, I thought "I'm not on a domain. Except for the new domain for my Jukebox machine......hmmm...."
Guess I have to check that out tonight. Update tomorrow. Shall we start a pool on whether it's the domain settings or the hard drive? NOTE: Since I'm the only one reading my blog, I'm not only guaranteed to win the pool, but to lose it as well. Sweet.
On its own, the linux jukebox is working great. It was great to be able to crank up my "XP just took a dump" playlist and be soothed as I pulled my hair out. And, it was nice to have another machine running to search for info on the dead XP box. Hoping to recover that bad boy, since it really is my workhorse.
