Stop: C000021a fatal system error

[HackSore]

You need to pop in your windows disk and boot from cd, then choose the boot into command prompt option, like you said you did before.
The use the chkdsk command and see if you have any luck.

Sounds like bad news my man. We'd be able to deal with this problem pretty easily if you could actually use the computer. Most likely you had a very intense virus on your system. It could have embedded itself into a system file and then the antivirus promptly removed that system file.

I think that's what happened to me!
I got the infamous "Windows Antivirus 2008" that takes over your desktop background, so I ran Avast and that removed it.

Then I installed AVG and ran the scan and said it found a virus, do you want to remove it? I clicked yes and BOOM! Stop c000021a fatal system error 0xc0000034 bla bla. One would think AVG would be a little smarter than that, no?!?!?

I don't REALLY have to reinstall the OS, do I? I'm running a chkdsk /r from the recovery console and if that doesn't work I'm going to try a FixBoot. That's a good procedure, right?


(By the way, Google likes this topic alot.)

chkdsk didn't help, neither did fixboot

You can boot from the CD and repair your installation. That might work.

dAvast? Avast is a real Anti-Virus, dAvast sounds like a Trojan.
