Hey there, gizmo experts!


Another wee problem, I'd like you to help me solve.

The said laptop is a Toshiba product, with Windows 7 installed, and has been used for over 2 years.
However, a few days ago, when it was turned on, it refused to boot.
Instead this message popped up on the screen;

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

1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \Windows\system32\drivers\aswbunivx.sys

Status: 0xc0000098

Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt. "


I want to know;
-Is it necessary to re-install Windows 7 as instructed?
Or,
-Is this a bug or a computer virus problem?

Kindly advice me. The computer contains a lot of important and irreplacable files.

Huh? Are you sure?
'Cause a brother here tells me I have to back the files up on a hard drive first.
