Computer failing to bootHie
I have a Pentium 11 computer, 365MHz, 160 MB of RAM. The computer was previously using windows XP I removed its 4GB hard drive and I recently installed a new 20GB hard drive. I tried to boot the computer with windows XP CD and received the following message Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt System32/Drivers/Ntfs.sys I tried to run SETUP again, this time I formatted the Hard drive with a FAT format Again I received a strange message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt System32/ntoskrnl.exe I was then advised by a friend to use a widows 98 CD. I used windows 98 CD and again the computer could not start, I received the following message A device file which may be needed to run windows is built with an old beta version of windows DDK Contact the software provider for a newer version of the device file C:\windows\system\VMM32\VPICD.VXD I have ran out of ideas; I really need your help Thank you in advance |

Re: computer failing to bootI wouldn't normally advise anybody to go any where near Linux, but if you can get a live CD, and boot up off of that, it might give you a chance to get onto your hard disk, have a look around, and perhaps find out what's going on.
