Default Safeboot corrupted! Need Help :(
Working on a Lenovo XP Pro. Did a virus scan and at restart it says ""safeboot has been corrupted (error 92h)"

I've googled like mad and can't get any help. Can't access the drive because of the encryption so can't repair the MBR. Ran a file recovery and it brought back nothing. The client has no backup and no safeboot disks. They didn't even know safeboot was on the system.

Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas. Pulling my hair out over this one.

From what I googles, it sounds like its not the safeboot for the os but there is a program installed, some kind of rogue server from computrace, see if you have anything related in your add remove programs.

sounds like its some sort of disk encryption or file encryption program, and yes I have had pain with this type of software in the past but not safeboot or computrace.

*edit* it sounds like the software is a laptop tracking software to prevent theft. So I dont know where you got htis laptop but I would find out who had installed this on it. I dont know who you are working on it for if its a company and they had it put on or a home user that got a hold of it somehow. *

I would cover your own @#@ stop working on it until you get the details. The laptop may or may not be stolen but I would not be in the business of working on a stolen laptop.

Yea the laptop came from an investment company that he worked for that want bust, so i'm 100% it's legit. I'm certain it's some sort of disk encryption.

I've ran a program called HDHacker 1.2 and now I can install XP again. Just have to wait and see if I can recover some files. Thanks for the reply generalj
