Wow, that sounds deadly.

Im currently at work, but before I left I quickly tried to start in safe again- it loads all the way up to mup.sys, then stops.  It may be mup.sys that is corrupted, or whatever comes after that (help on that?).

I was thinking it was the MBR though that made it disappear.

We'll see what happens....I hope to god it isn't that virut crap

Nope, last known config, safemode, safemode with networking, etc never worked :/

Alright, so, a few weeks back All of a sudden all of my programs returned errors and everything started shutting down.  So, I shut off my computer.  I turned my computer back on to see the lovely windows loading bar show up, even begin moving.  Then, abruptly, there was a black screen, and my computer had restarted-back to the BIOS.

Initially worried, I booted my linux partition.  My windows partition was completely viewable.  I backed up all my files.

For a few weeks, I just camped out on linux.  But I want to get back on my windows again.

So, first thing I do is do the whole recovery console deal- back up the SAM, system, security, software, default.  replace them with the ones in the repair folder.  I restart my computer-  same old problem, boot screen loads, the bar goes for a couple of rounds then it abruptly restarts.  No warnings or errors listed.  Now, only, there is a bigger problem- I can't even mount the windows partition to linux anymore, it say's it's unreadable!


Any Ideas?  Im in no MAJOR rush, and I can work back and forth.  My linux also has ntfs read AND write support.

Thanks in a advanced, if you need to know anything more, post.
