  1. Horrific. From Binging, it seems issue is most pronounced with ThinkPads. 4:35 PM Nov 21st from TweetDeck
  2. Nasty, nasty part of this is that this Intel Turbo Memory driver issue is intermittent, can strike at any time, and then never go away. 4:34 PM Nov 21st from TweetDeck
  3. (4) re-install drive (5) reboot 4:33 PM Nov 21st from TweetDeck
  4. My machine now boots. Short-term sol'n: (1) yank drive (2) mount drive on another PC (3) rename \windows\system32\drivers\iaNvStor.sys 4:32 PM Nov 21st from TweetDeck
  5. Format complete. Restore re-initiated. CHKDSK will take until Tuesday. 8:49 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  6. Format's at 95%. Ooh ahh. 8:42 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  7. Format's at 18% and chkdsk is at what looks to be 15%. Time to unpack PDC suitcase. Woe is me. 7:44 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  8. OK. Running chkdsk on ThinkPad's drive (on my PDC Acer) and formatting new drive on ThinkPad in order to re-attempt WHS restore there. :-s 7:37 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  9. All those people who started following me after I tweeted PDC keynotes are now regretting it, as they see me Tweet-Whine about my ThinkPad 7:09 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  10. I bet it's not going to fix anything though. Sort of like pressing that button to get a Walk signal on the corner. 7:07 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  11. Wow. Win7 Startup Repair has been "Attempting repairs..." for almost as long as WHS took to do the restore. 7:07 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  12. Everyone remember that old Apple commercial with people ytelling suggestions from teh audience? "Try changing config.sys!" 7:05 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  13. Somehow, even @edbott felt enough sympathy to throw me a suggestion. And yet. 7:04 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  14. I have never had so much (remote) moral support during a PC's re-animation before. Thanks all. But I would thank you more if you solved it 7:02 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  15. I am tempted to throw in a spare hard drive and restore to that one instead. 7:01 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  16. @devhammer Oh, I suppose anything is possible. But if it's the RAM, then how come the WHS Restore CD starts up no problem? 7:00 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck in reply to devhammer
  17. Trying WIndows "Startup repair" again, almost certainly in vain. 6:58 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  18. @edbott It passes every frigging RAM test I give it. Makes no sense. It's this iaNavstor.sys driver. 6:56 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck in reply to edbott
  19. As Yosemite Sam would say: Rassin' Frassin' dirty Drassin'. You doggone Galoote! 6:52 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  20. And the blue screen is still with us :-( 6:49 PM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
