Dell PC restore error message

Hi all

I had problems with my Dell Dimensions 5150 Windows XP desktop. I find the PC Restore by going Ctrl F11. As I ran it I got the restoration of failure error message please click on restart to restart. When I did that I now can no longer access my files, I just get the error message
Loading PBR for descriptor 2... fact.
Playing a disc error has occurred
Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart
Whenever I do this, I get the same error message.
Anyone have any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks a lot waiting for a help
Andrew

the new error message is the result of trying to install the old software starting the restore disc, using the f11 key.

Although the process has been a failure, he changed probably changed the dma setting on the hard drive, where the error it produces now.

what you can do is to transfer this question on the forums of dell.com because there will be experts dell answering questions there.    I think that the hotfix changes the hard drive in your dell read udma (zero) instead of dma bios.

In addition to repost your question in the dell forums, you may also be able to use the following syntax:

http://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/RK-express/

and or follow these steps:

You can probably remove the hard drive from the computer and then install it on a working computer as a secondary drive.

Then, you can use this functional computer and the o.s. to extract your files out of it.

also, if by chance you were trying to fix an unstable system of files using the factory restore procedure, then you can run a disk drive to check hard disk via the functional computer, which undertakes to repair the file system unstable.

    This restore point is maybe damaged or defective.  A few others try and see if you have the same problem.  To do this, start safe mode and disable your software safety first - and then try to do from there.  If the problem persists, after back and we'll do some general troubleshooting to try to find and fix the cause.

    Once you are done, turn off the PC.  Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose the restore point, you need and then do the restore.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

    I have fixed many times by the steps described in this article...

    This is not guaranteed because the problem can be reduced to hard drive failure rather than just the corruption of the boot.ini file.

    If it does not solve the problem, post back and I will get back on it.

    Hello

    1. when exactly you get this error message?

    2 are you able to boot into the office after getting this error on blue screen?

    3. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Try to start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Method 2 : If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method 3: If the problem persists, then try to run the Startup Repair tool.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.
