Just wondered if there is any solution to the 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screen I get after reboot after first time use of CCleaner under WIN2K Professional.

FYI, I have gone through all the MS recommendations. Used repair console, chkdsk/r, etc. I can see drive data via Bart PE, but cannot boot into Windows.

I'm a little sick to my stomach after dealing with this for 6 hours or so.

Sorry to hear of your problem and can understand you must feel upset.

Does any of this apply to you? Such as the motherboard etc.

I take it that this is the fix you tried

I have never heard of CCleaner doing this after use by the way.

Have you checked the bios for Boot Sequence to ensure its looking on the C drive first.

Many PC's are left with with the sequence of D -cd-rom first and C second. There have been some instances of CCleaner disrupting the CD-rom drivers.
