The error codes I've been able to catch so far are 0x00000003 and 0x000000f4

Computer was purchased a week ago from the lenovo warehouse sale. WTF?
Win XP, the only things I have put on the comp are TrendMicro, Office 2007, iTunes and system updates through Thinkvantage.

I would appreciate any tips, I think my first step is going to be reformat and re-install. Should I use the Lenovo reinstall disk or should I do a fresh xp install?

English motherfucker, do you speak it? But really, does "Microsoft is researching the problem" mean that I am fucked?

Why is my hard disk configured as a subordinate and how do I fix this?

Good luck getting that fix from Microsoft. If you want to use the Recovery button on your laptop, use the Lenovo reinstall disk. Otherwise, if not care, fresh xp install.

So I used the recovery function, is this gonna happen again or was it a fluke?
