greetings all,

THe situation:

Buddy, if playing around on the internet, did not runn any apps, progs, or downloads. Ie locks up. He then proceds to end the task, but the entire system frezzes. So he restarted. While rebooting windows reports that a VMM error has occured in IFS manager. (enter by passes) Windows then reports that a VMM error has occured in IOS . (enter by passes) Windows reports the IFS erro again, followed by the IOS error, then stops. And returns a statment along the lines of "you must reinstall windows to continue"

Is this the oly way to get the system back??

(safemode alos reports these errors)

System config:

IBM 166 MMX
2 HDD HDD 1: 3 5.9 GB partitions HDD 2: 3 1 GB partitons
System configured as network server, but is standalone
Swapfile fonfigured for Last partiton of HDD2
Ontrack Boot MAnager is installed. (system borad cannot reconize HDD1 with out it.)

HDD's have been manualy configered in BIOS.
