    Error on boot
    « on: January 21, 2010, 07:05:43 PM »
    My friend obtained a powerful gaming desktop a few months ago, but just recently upon start-up it would go to a black screen with text on it. The screen said that one of the drives is missing and to insert the windows installation disk. Sadly, he does not know the location of this disk. Is there any way to reinstall the driver without that disk? Below is the file it says is missing:
                                                     \windows\System32\Drivers\hcpgqdb.sys

    That file looks suspicious. It would be best to run some scans on your computer. But first we have to get it started. Let's try this: You will have to do this on another computer. You may have to change the boot order in the BIOS of the disfunctional computer.

    Go to this link to create a Rescue CD or to this site to create a Rescue USB. Carefully follow all the instructions for whichever method you choose.
