Hi,
My Windows XP laptop died yesterday. The error message (in French) that is displayed at startup is shown at the end of this post.
I decided to try and recover the data by installing Ubuntu on a separate partition. But once I choose any options (other than "Test memory") for the live installer menu, I get the message:
crc error
-- System halted
I googled this message and it seems this indicates a hardware problem, possibly with the hard disk. Is there anything I can do to try and get a working OS installed, so I can attempt to recover the data?
Thanks in advance,
domurtag
Windows error message:
Windows n'a pas pu demarrer car le fichier suivant est manquant ou endommage:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
Vous pouvez tenter de reparer ce fichier en demarrant le programme d'installation de Windows XP avex le CD-ROM original d'installation. Choisissex "R" dans le premier ecran pour demarrer le reparation.
