Fixing W2k Pro Start up problem

[Diz]

When my pc boots up WIn 2k Pro it begins to start up normal then I get a blue screen that says:

Stop: 0x000007B (0XEB81B84C, OXC0000034, OX00000000, OX00000000)

It tells me to use CHKDSK/ F to fix the problem but it didn't work. I'm not sure what is causing it to not boot up fully. I also ran scandisk.

Need help please..

this is not to good Often this indicates a disk controller configuration problem, or error in accessing the hard disk. Other possible causes include the following: during initialization of the I/O system, the driver for the boot device failed to initialize the boot device (device not available, SCSI error), or the file system could not recognize the data on the boot device. Also may indicate that a virus has infected the boot sector.I'm not sure if I'm hitting on the right thing here I have not seen this before so I am really taking a pot shot here.
you could try a few things here ,Do physical check of controller and make sure that it is detected during setup, this may require a driver disk. Also Do physical check of controllers and make sure that they are all detected during setup, this may require a driver disk. Make certain that the controller that holds the boot drive is detected.
Virus has infected boot sector. NT is fairly resistant in NTFS, but can still happen. Boot w/DOS floppy and run anti-virus software.

Boot sector was corrupted from errant file activity. Use setup disks and select repair. Fix the boot sector when prompted.

Not sure if I'm on right track her but let me know

Insert your 2k CD upon boot, and choose the repair option when it's presented, this should replace any system files that may be corrupted.If this doesn't fix it then as Yoda pointed out it's a possible hardware issue-try swapping controllers for the harddrive to see if you get the same error.
Remove your CD/CDRW/DVD from the secondary ide controller and place your HD on it to see if it will boot.

I'll try those options. Be back with the results. Hopefully good...

I tried the suggestions mentioned above but they didn't work. How do I run my virus scan to check it for virus. I'm not able to get into safe mode. As a last resort, will using fdisk to delete everything resolve the problem?

I have other pcs so can I put the problem hd as a second drive and run virus scan? I tried to add it as a second drive, but the board doesn't recognize it.

Are you saying that installing the harddrive in another machine didn't work because the other pc wouldn't recognize the drive? If that's the case, then it looks like you have a bad hardrive!

No I think the drive is ok, I just may not have it configured correctly (jumpers, etc.).
