"The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum." I get this error every time I try to boot Windows 7. This started happening after I uninstalled an Alienware theme from my PC. While it was getting removed, the uninstall crashed, forcing me to restart my computer in the middle of the uninstall. What I think happened was my boot image (or some other boot file, I'm not too familiar with the terminology) got corrupt when the theme was uninstalled, as the theme created its own boot image. I've tried...
- Rebooting and reseating each stick of RAM. This did nothing; I presume this isn't a memory problem.
- Making a system repair disk with my desktop to use on the afflicted computer. I thought this would work, but in BIOS, it's listed that there is no CD in my optical drive.
- Booting Ubuntu from a USB drive. When I do this, I get the message "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart."
- Accessing Advanced Boot Options. Same "checksum" error when trying to do it.
Specs--
Model: Alienware M15X
OS: Windows 7
RAM: 2X2GB Kingston RAM modules
(If you need any other information, please ask me. I will do my best to provide it to you).
Any and all help appreciated. I am really desperate to get this problem fixed. Thanks in Advance!
