    Hey guys I have this repetitive problem that after a few days my laptop can no longer restart it gets stuck at a bootup manager screen saying

    File : windows/system32/drivers/intelide.sys

    status : 0xc000000f

    System failed to load operating system because critical system driver is corrupt or missing .

    I tired different antiviruses kaspersky internet securty as well as mcafee internet security. Updated my windows completely after a reformat , but still after a few days the same thing happens again. Safe mode does not work either. Systemis unableto repair itself from the cd.
    I have Windows vista, Dell inspirion 1520.
    Could it be a bios problem ?
    My friend suggested to be some sort of worm.
    Please help

    Thank you
