I turned on my computer and I get that error. Error code:
0x000000ED (0x812FA4D0, 0xC0000006, 0X00000000, 0x00000000).
I looked up online for help, but nothing works. I don't have a Windows XP CD, so I downloaded the Windows XP Home Edition SP2 setup disks from Microsoft. I used the 6 setup disks. On the sixth disk, the process took very long time to finish and then the computer rebooted itself and I still get the same error. Was that suppose to happen or was there suppose to be a setup screen where I can access the recovery console?
Please help. I've been to a few sites and all have similar or exact instructions.

I ask my manufacturer for help. They say I need to do a factory restore since I don't have the Windows XP CD. That just sucks.

you need the windows xp operating system disk to attempt to repair the hard drive. I just had the same problem on my laptop. The operating system disk repaired it. Took about 45 minutes to complete.
when the disk is inserted let it load. when given options hit the R button for repair.
when c: prompt comes up type chkdsk /r (a space between chkdsk and /r)
when repairs are completed and the c: prompt comes back, type exit and your computer will begin to restart. eject the disk and your computer should start up normally.
The advice to format will wipe out everything on your computer. You will then have to re-install XP and your drivers.
Who makes your computer? Go to their website and see if they offer solutions in their troubleshooting section.
