Greetz,
i recently had my computer freeze so i decided to reboot my dell c521 and when it rebooted it started up with a (startup repair) screen and then when it was done my windows icon apeared along with the password section but all the words turned to symbols ? i took it to geek squad and they suggested it was a virus and to wipe the computer clean. so when i got home i follwed the instructions given and booted from the dvd/cd with reinstallation dvd, and followed prompts and when it rebooted my computer i got this erorr message:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem:

1. Insert your window installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3. click "repair your computer"

also said...

File:\Windows\System32\drivers\volmgrx.sys
Status: 0xc0000221
Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt.

i tried the repair and it just reboots back to the "WINDOWS BOOT MANGER" screen.

now it doesnt do nothing but that and cant get back to the windows start up page. called geek squad back up and they said that they think i deleted all the drivers..? anyone know how to fix this and get the computer running again ? i have both drivers and utilities disc along with operating system disk for reinstallation.

Run Startup Repair 3 times
If it doesn't fix things, then start with these free diagnostics:
I suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests. They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there is a hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need them in the future:
H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link) - Test ALL of the hard drives.

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Free Online AntiMalware Resources (read the details at the link)
