I got some "delayed write failure" error messages on my otherwise perfectly working
W2000, then at next boot of the nice SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED BSOD...
I plugged the disk on a working XP system an all partitions checked OK and the disk
seems to be perfecly working, changed IDE cables, checked BIOS, pulled out CD and
even floppy drives, no luck!
Any ideas ?
HINT: to view (and delete!) all installed drivers, set the DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
env variable to 1, then on Display menu of HW mgr check the Show hidden devices item
(sorry for approximate names, but I don't have an english system)
