   I've been tasked to investigate a win7 32bit system that is     
   failing to load.  It's an Acer Aspire 7715Z   
      
   I tried using a windows repair disk (created with another win 7     
   32bit system) ..but it doesn't get past the "select     
   language:US"   
      
   I can enter the Advanced Boot Options menu (via repeated F8     
   hits until it pops up).   
      
   I can select "Disable Restart" from that list and the system     
   enters BSOD with STOP code 0x000000ed   
      
   I've researched that stop code and the common strategy is to     
   get to the point where one can run CHKDSK /X /R /F  ..but "Safe     
   Mode with command line) doesn't take me there either - the     
   system just stalls for a while, and then restarts.   The last     
   driver loaded/reported is "disk.sys".   
      
   Selecting "Enable bootlogging" doesn't seem to write to the     
   ntbtlog.txt file in \Windows\System32 like it should.   
      
   Does anyone here have experience in sorting out this issue?   
      
   I can boot the pc with a linux live-cd (the Acer supports     
   64bit, so I chose antiX x64 Base)  ...and that looks great.   
      
   fdisk -l lists the partitions fine.  /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 and     
   /dev/sda3 look good.   
      
   sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt  ..works great and allows me to look     
   around on the Windows partition.   
      
   The driver files in /mnt/Windows/System32/drivers are viewable.   
      
   Should I just place all the matching driver files with the ones     
   from my good win7 32bit system?   
      
   Or.. should I only replace disk.sys first?   
      
   Common wisdom seems to indicate that the problem driver is     
   usually the one *after* disk.sys.   But.. I can't be sure what     
   that next driver it was trying to load.  If I could be sure     
   what that one is, maybe I could rename it so that it wouldn't     
   load?   
      
   If I look at \Windows\System32\ntbtlog.txt from my good win7     
   32bit machine, the next file after disk.sys is Classpnp.sys   
      
   So.. any ideas on how to resolve this mystery? Appreciated.
