Hi All,
Advice / help needed.
Today November 28th 2008 I got the same BSOD on my Dell desk top and the same iastor.sys error messages reported above at least 2 years after Dell are aware of this problem. I spoke with Dell and they said that I have a faulty drive and they will replace it... but like everyone else it’s the data that’s important.
The system has 2 hard drives but I am not aware if they were set up as a raid or just 2 separate drives.
I will remove them and take the advice offered above about making a backup first.
A friend has suggested I download a Windows XP Live cd and apparently I can run windows from this cd and allow me access to the computer. And I should be able to replace the iastor.sys file.
What do you think is this a runner?
I am still not clear from reading the posts here and elsewhere if the problem is the iastor.sys file or the hard drive is gone.
Any help or advice would greatly relieve the big headache I have just now.
Thanking you
DeDanan.
