Every time i turn my dell inspirion laptop on it always says Stop:C000021a Fatal System Error system has shut down....

I am generally pretty good with computers but have no clue how to solve this.

I was dragging files from external drive onto the laptop at the time when it crashed and this is the result. It hangs on crcdisk.sys when I tried to boot in safe mode.

All help is appreciated!

Have you had a look at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156669?

Thanks for the reply.

I tried all of it with no success. I think my harddrive may be goosed, what do you think?

If you have a copy of the OS cd boot off of it and chose to recover the PC. Type chkdsk /r (I think it is R... if it then its F)

the /R will both locate bad sectors and recover readable data.. it includes /f.
