My machine's not coming out the boot sequence in either safe or normal
or anything, XP Pro, SP2, Sempron 3400, 2 gig mem, Asus, Sata, erm...
I try to run micro-scope diagnostics on it and can't as locks with the
run-time error r6003 - divide by 0
message below it suggests
PANIC MCB chain corrupted.

The drive's ok it passes chkdsk (I set it before it got this bad, I
could get into safe mode before I ran chkdsk, oddly) and it passes
memtest with flying colours. I have a feeling the machine got messed
up by the heat we had the other day.

Any assistance gratefully received.

This is the third place you've multiposted this, when I had already given
you answers and we had a dialog going elsewhere. According to this post,
you have not tried the things I suggested. I don't see any additions to
that original thread, in any case.

Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:

I only multiposted by accident earlier, my apologies. This time I
cross-posted which is what I intended earlier.

I ran the Seagate disk wizard too, the drive is fine according to
that. Seagate is officially fine to test Maxtors with apparently. I
did the memtests too, two of them, old version and new version.

It's been a while since I've had to do these things, Malke, I'm a
little clumsy here.

NTFS4DOS complains that there's UMBs unavailable. interrupt divide by
zero, stack.

I keep feeling there's something simple behind this.

Just wipe it, you mean?

What about the recovery console option? No opinions on that?

Ah no, we used the repair function in the end. I'll say more in the
other thread. Why'd you think this is a windup?
