The other day I started my machine, and when it was "searching for boot record from IDE-0" it did not find anything. So I booted from the Windows startup disk, scandisk'ed, and ran sys. Now when I boot up, it finds the boot record, the Windows screen displays like normal -- but only for a couple seconds. Then I am sent to a C: prompt with no error message whatsoever. I've tried a couple of things, notably scanreg /restore, with no luck. It also will not let me go into safe mode, as holding Ctrl while booting up just goes to C: prompt also. Any suggestions?
