From: rc on 25 May 2010 12:26 I've attempted to boot using XP installation disk but only get to where it appears it is setting up window and then it will either hang there or I get the BSOD with the following at the bottom: stop: 0XC0000005, 0X807E856E............ So I never actually get to the point where I can enter recovery console. This negates a lot of the possible fixes I've read about.
