My computer had a complete failure. Happens quite often for me 
I'm running Windows XP Pro for reference sake.
Anyway after the Physical memory dump I restarted my computer. With the options of safe mode and normal mode etc I choose normall. This has happened to me many times and I had no reason to assume my computer wouldn't work. It got to the Windows XP loading screen. After a few minutes I got a pop up saying "E:\$BitMap" was missing, this was the message.
"The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of computer hadrware or network connection. Please save this file elsewhere"
I clicked OK only to be confronted with several more of these. Lots of different file names in a moment of panic I didn't write them down. I know stupid of me.
Anyway I restarted thinking some magic would happen and it would work.
Again the options of safe mode normall mode and no matter which one I tried none of them worked. I got this message for all. Windows is corruput or something to that effect and this was the solution given.
"Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration and check for any updated drivers. Run CHDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption then restart."
I booted into my windows disk for recovery console and did the CHDSK. It scanned with no errors. I then typed "DISABLE" I don't think this actually disabled anything but rather just gave me info on the command. I can't be sure of that but I would assume you need to type something after "DISABLE" to choose what you want to disable. Anyhow it looked complicated and dangerous so I thought another restart since I have done the CHDSK might work.
Anyway it has. Windows has started with several critical processes missing. I now Have 20 Processes running rather than my usual 29/32. I have no windows task bar and can't get one even after executing the run command on explorer.exe through Windows Task Manager.
The only reason I can even get on to type this is through a firefox shortcut on my desktop. Obviously some things are working but the bulk of my system Isn't and I'm completely stumped. I really do not want to formatt.
Please help!
