Compaq TC1100 running 8.10 won't boot after updates.

[Skip Fed9]

Hey all!
First, thank you for any insight you can contribute.  I am trying to decide
what my next steps are.

I have a Compaq [hp] TC1100 tablet that has been running 8.04 and then a
fresh install of 8.10 beautifully - till the updates last night.

I chose download and install last night, went to the gym, came back to a
Updates Installed message and a locked PC.  C-A-B didn't restart x - so I
did a hard power down.

The machine is a tablet without a attached DVD drive [it is USB] etc.  so
the only disk to boot from is the hard disk.

Upon booting this morning I get [roughly]:

Boot from (hd0,0)  ext3

Starting up. . .



Ata1.00:exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0

Ata1.00 . . . Bmdma stat 0x5

Ata1.00 . . . Media error

Ata1.00 . . . DRDY Err

Ata1.00 . . . Error: UNC

I have two thoughts:  The hard drive crashed or the update crashed.  Any
ideas?


Thank you!
