[chouda]

Hey all,

Im getting the messagae ntfs.sys error blue screen when installing xp pro. Its basically happening just after selecting network settings. This type of problem in new for me. This set up has worked perfectly for 1 year with no changes in hardware. any ideas??????????

I had a similar problem when I was trying to install Office 97 a few years back and the solution couldn't be easier.

Take your XP CD in your hand, turn it upside down, look at all the fingerprints and marks, wipe of gently with a soft cloth.

I didnt think the dirty disk was it but I gave it a shot anyways....

This is my second reformat. I just attempted to reload xp and now I getting a new error message.

driver corrupted mmpool

wtf??????

It your disk badly scratched or marked? Have you got a duplicate of the CD from a while back, before the marks?

[chouda]

I do believe I have an image of it somewhere I can reburn and try and reinstall.....

[brock01]

ya try that if you can find the backup image, good luck

Good, use a decent blank CD, a high quality one if you can get yours hands on some. Then give it another bash and report back.

If you cant get your hands on one and dont want to download a OS from the internet. Ill be glad to mail you one. =) PM Me your address if all else fails.

Okay.... Ive tried formating and installing win 2000 on two separate drives...... I recently had a mobo warrentied with a replacement but never had this issue before.


Heres a list of what Im running:

P4 3.2
1g of kingston
1 lg dvd rom and dvd burner
80g maxtor
160g western digital
Nvidia 6600BFG GT
Asus p4p8 mobo
Creative audiology platinum 2 zs

I thought it may have been the disk but after trying the two ops I dont think its it. Ive tried 2 other harddrives with the same problem happening each time(blue screen of death with error, but different error each time). I can only get as far as the set up into xp and win 2000 and then it crashes. Not sure what else it could be.....Please help....

Its your ram, something gone wrong with it. Don't ask me why Windows XP is very fussy when it comes to ram. I'm guessing it maybe damaged in someway. Take out the stick dust them off, reset your bios give it a try, if it doesn't work get some new ram fairly cheap these days.

Ive seen this same symptom on scratchy disks, CD-RW, and older CDRoms . .
