Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008XP Home boot failure
A friend had a badly infected computer - Dell Inspiron 5160. After running AVG and Spybot S&D and removing the nasties, it will not boot. STOP: c0000135 {Unable to locate component}......baseidn32 was not found. I asked him if he had a recovery/restore/installation disk but he maintains that all he received was disks with Works, Cyberlink, Sonic etc. I seem to remember reading some posts that stated an OEM repair disk was not always shipped nowadays. Have searched but the solution always involves the use of said repair disk. Any ideas? > A friend had a badly infected computer - Dell Inspiron 5160. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Any ideas?

When the computer boots, it will tell you what F key to use.

Did some further searching and found you needed to hit Ctrl+F11 to get restore option. Worked fine and am now setting it up from scratch. Thanks to all for your help. >>>>>> A friend had a badly infected computer - Dell Inspiron 5160. >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > Thanks to all for your help. You might want to create a restore disk while you're at it :-) Hard drives don't last forever.

Will it boot into Safe Mode? If so, run Regedit and look search for "baseidn32". It might be shown like this, or similar: Shell: Explorer.exe baseidn32 You edit it to read Shell: Explorer.exe ..and the machine should start. Inserting a BartPe CD might allow you to run Regedit and make the change too. Haven't tried this, it's just a thought..  SignatureJoe =o) |
