I just booted up with 6.0.1 and got the same message as the original poster.
Before I go to the LX terminal (root terminal) and initialize the hard drive per instructions...
1) I wanted to check and make sure I wouldn't somehow damage my XP files on the drive.
2) I'm pretty sure I have a boot virus as my hard drive is practically new. I got the blue SoD once before my laptop stopped booting.
3) My objective is to diagnose a boot problem on my PC and hopefully recover some files I need from it.
I have threatened to leave the Gates Plan on numerous occasions. This may be the last straw.
Thanks in advance.
