Stop: c000135 error

I apparently did not do something correctly when I did what I thought was a Window's update to make my system work faster, and now I can't get my XP to boot. It goes to this Stop: c0000135 error. I've tried pressing F8 to access options for rebooting, but all of the options offered all give me the same error. The F2 option on Dell boot up screen doesn't even work. It ignores me and continues on to the same XP boot up screen that ends up in the Stop: c0000135 error message. I have the Re-Boot discs at the ready, but I can't ge to the c: prompt to try and re-install this program. What do I do?

Dell xps 1330 is not getting booted, when run the diagnostics got Error 2000-0146. After restart with repair got blue screen with error STOP: c000135, Please help me to resolve this issue.

Resolution is simple enough. 2000-0146 is a read-write failure of the hard disk drive. You will need to replace the drive and reinstall Windows and your drivers. You can get a Replacement HDD here is the system is no longer in warranty:

Error with LG ATAPI DVD DH20A4H

I'm a novice, but had the same problem. I followed the manufacturer's advise and went into the Registry and changed the "drive type" to a "1" instead of the "3" that was listed. Apparently, a "3" indicates that the drive is only capable of reding discs. Changing the value to a "1" or "2" enables Windows to viw the drive as a recordable drive. Hope this helps.

Have a Huawei smartAx X MT882, and i dont have the driver to conect to a usb, have window vista

Unfortunately, Huawei indicates that the MT882 does not function with Vista, and apparently they will not update the equipment to do so. Please see http://forum.huawei.com/jive4/search.jspa?q=vista%20requirements&objID=f46&rankBy=10001&threadID=316039.

I also searched the MS Update Catalog (a huge technical resource) just in case we could find something close that might work. No luck - the only Huawei items listed are drivers for Ralink wireless LAN cards.

Sorry for the bad news, but at least now you have a definite answer. It would seem that you may need to uprade to a new router. Please don't "shoot the messenger" - in other words, we obviously can't do anything to correct a situation like this. We can only provide you with an accurate, timely response. Thank you for using and rating FixYa!
