BSOD on boot- PFN_LIST_CORRUPT can't boot from disk. Any options?
Started getting a BSOD on our laptop yesterday when we tried to start it up and I'm hoping for some help, but not sure how optimistic I am. I can't get it to finish the start up process. If I try to start it on it's own, I get the BSOD with an error message saying, "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" and code "*** STOP: 0x0000004E (0x0000000000000099, 0x000000000013F5AF, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000) This happens if I try to start it either normally or if I try to launch the startup repair. I can not get it to boot into safe mode or any other mode for that matter. I've tried with a Win7 startup disk, and I've also tried with a Win8 upgrade disk. Neither of those will work either. BSOD on trying to start, and never really getting past the initial "loading files" I never do actually get windows to load in any form whatsoever. I looked at the BIOS and it appears fine. No changes there, but also no options to upgrade it or roll it back in the BIOS itself. But as far as I know there shouldn't have been any changes to the BIOS anyways. I don't believe it was doing any upgrades or patching at the time either, but can't be positive as I wasn't the one using it when it started. It's an ASUS laptop, about 7 months old we bought refurbished, so it's past warranty (of course) Model K54C, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, 4 gigs RAM So any suggestions, ideas, or hope, or am I looking at having to replace the HDD?
