Formatting Error

[Zack]

Hey guys, guess what, I have another PC problem!
Here's the story:
I bring my PC to the shop and they keep it for 2 1/2 days to run some tests.
They figured out it was a RAM problem, so they replaced my RAM stick.
=
$60.00 for tests, $30.00 for labor :/

So after going into the shop the guy tells me it's all fixed up, tries to run the setup, gets the "Missing a file error" and restarts the PC and gives me the check. I know right? So I ask him about re-formatting my PC, he tells me just to pop in the disk and boot from it, following the setup.

I take my PC home, connect it, get a 5 minute power problem with my PC, then it decideds to turn on. I can access my desktop, so I pop in the CD, it does its thing, then asks me to restart so it can install windows. It restarts, then I boot from the disk, everything goes fine, loads all the files, starting up windows, then... BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!

I'll post this in the DOD:S forum too, and just to let you know, the BSOD tells me to check if my hardrive is corrupted and run CHKDSK /r or something, but the funny thing is I can't even get the CD to finish so I can run it!

Please help.

You can download, burn, and run Ultimate Boot CD. This disk is a large collection of all sorts of computer management goodies. You should be able to run HDAT2 to identify and attempt to repair bad sectors on your disk. You might also do a low-level format to start from a clean slate. Just be careful to research a tool before you use it since some tools (such as the CMOS/BIOS tools) can do very bad damage if used improperly.
