articquad Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Alright, guys. My dad's Dell Inspiron 600m crashed. Boot up in safe mode, crash, "last good configuration", crash. Crash, crash, crash. It's like BSOD Central. So here's what I wanted to do.. Access the Dell Laptop's hard drive over my network in OS X, and then scan with ClamXav, and hopefully get something out of it.. Unfortunately, I cannot get that far because I can't get it to connect via ethernet because it crashes before the desktop loads. I also don't have an external enclosure I could put the drive in temporarily. So, I'm stuck, and I'm hoping I'm having one of those "D'oh!" moments where I slap myself on the forehead. Any insight would be fantastic. Thanks! By the way, the mac I'm using to hopefully repair it is a C2D Prev. Gen iMac.

scottath Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What BSOD, might be ram etc? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89265-bsod-on-windows-fix-with-os-x/#findComment-637409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
articquad Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 It is a hardware failure, so I was thinking it was an HD Problem, but I think I'll check it with the original RAM, too. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89265-bsod-on-windows-fix-with-os-x/#findComment-640963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSmokingBandit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 If you want to run a scan on the HDD you could get a ubuntu live cd and install Clam on that to scan. It will be slow but it will get the job done.
