Big Problems For 3vil

I just installed windows 7 as an upgrade a few days back and yesterday i did a rebooth after an update of some software. all of a sudden my M17x is not starting up and after alot of failed attempts i tried to reinstall windows 7 and that took like an hour which is unusual i think and it failed. so i tryed installing vista again...failed. now it says bootmanager is missing. So i do a diagnostics test and it says one of my HDD has a 2000-0046 failure

Is that the end of my drive?

 

installed windows 7 again. no luck

more info: \windows\system32\drivers\pci.sys
status: 0xc0000221

 

Can you tell which drive it is? If possible I would put it in another system and run a scan.

 

This stop error may occur in Windows Vista or in XP, if the system file that is described in the error message is corrupted.This Stop message indicates driver, system file, or disk corruption problems (such as a damaged paging file). Faulty memory hardware can also cause this Stop message to appear in Windows Vista or in XP. This Windows stop error message can also occur if the driver has corrupted the registry data while loading into memory, or the memory where the registry is loading has a parity error. In the latter case, turn off the external cache and check the memory chips.A common cause is that the battery on the motherboard that powers the CMOS needs to be replaced. The message may contain the name of the damaged file.

Solution:

* You can use Driver Rollback or System Restore from safe mode, to restore a previous driver. You can also use Windows Vista or Windows XP Professional recovery features such as the Last Known Good Configuration startup option, Backup, or Automated System Recovery to restore a previous working configuration. After restoring from backup media, you might need to reapply service packs or hotfixes, depending on when the backups were made.
* If the Stop message names the specific file, try replacing it manually with a fresh copy from the Windows XP Professional operating system CD using safe mode or Recovery Console. For systems using the FAT16 or FAT32 file system, you have the option of using a Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition Emergency Boot Disk to access the hard disk.

Note:To resolve this problem easily, obtain a new copy of the corrupted file or reinstall Windows Vista or XP operating system. If you continue to receive the stop error messages after you reinstall Windows Vista or XP, a hardware problem or a network problem may exist.

 

You doing a new install so either your DVD is bad or one of your drives.

 

ill try something with command prompt then ill remove my cmos battery and put it back. if that doesnt do it its probably hardware failure
