• Once I turned on the computer I got the following message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged. System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  I just download Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and then turns off the computer with XP operating system. Once I turned on the computer I got the following message:

  Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged;

  System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD

  Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair.

  Then, I started the computer with the Original installation CD and press 'r' by following the instructions. Then, I received this message:

  1: C:\WINDOWS

  (to cancel, press enter)

  What do I put here?

  You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

  Here's how:

  I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

  It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

  You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

  You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

  A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
  http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

  Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

  Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

  Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

  http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

  I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

  Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

  Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

  When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

  Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

  When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

  Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

  A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

  Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

  CHKDSK c: /r

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

• CD/DVD drivers are missing and my system is not able to detect the dvd drive.

  Hi, after installing some updates my dvd/cd drive is not detected by the system and the option is not in my computer menu, so I checked in the Device Manager. and my cd/dvd drivers are completely absent and not present in the Device Manager. I m using vista Home premium, help someone
  Thank you

  Hello

  1st reboot and watch again in Device Manager:

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Go to the support web site of the company that made the PC (there they are hard inside) or the company that makes the cd/dvd drive itself if its an external drive (USB?). They provide the drivers for their hardware.

  Check on your support site relevant to the brand and specific to the model of your PC (or an external drive) and any provision supported drivers or software for the readers, should be there.

• Upgrade to Win7 from damaged Vista DVD

  Here's the scenario. Vista Ult x 64 developed a problem starting after the installation of a system app would not start. Original OS DVD inserted to run the system restore I had created just before the installation application. Could not get the system to read the DVD at the start. He tried but would just give up and try to start, but fail.

  Turn DVD had developed a crack emanating from its hub which penetrated into the storage area of the disc. AUGH!

  Called MS and was informed that the replacement DVD is no longer available for Vista. AUGH!

  I have a dual-boot system, and the original Windows XP CD is still intact.

  I'm ready to go for Win7 64 Ult and I am concerned about the upgrade process. As the process in the past has been, I suppose that the system will ask you to verify that I am in control of the original OS media which I am for the XP partition. Problem is, I don't have to upgrade the XP partition, only the Vista partition including the disc is now damaged.

  What should do?

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• laptop cannot load due to damaged or missing drivers

  Hi all

  After installing the updates of Windows Vista on my Dell laptop and reboot, I get the error message that it cannot load because the missing drivers or damaged:

  \windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys

  I tried all the options without success. Not everyone looks like they might try to start and then take back me to the error screen. He suggested to load my re install dvd and reboot, but of course, restarting it informs me of my missing drivers or damaged.

  I also just installed a new hard drive to replace my damaged, even if I doubt that these two things are related.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Satellite A110-231-CD/DVD drivers for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I bought my laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-231 in Spain in January 2007. Provided with Windows XP, it has created a "Windows Vista ready" label. I installed Windows Vista and the components of the computer worked well. Now, I just installed Windows 7, but the CD/DVD drive (Pioneer K16A) not be recognized. Guess Windows Vista and Windows 7 have the same system requirements, so how can I I make my DVD player work on this OS?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  What do you mean by saying not recognized?
  The CD/DVD drive is not visible in the Device Manager or what?

  What the BIOS has said? The STRANGE is recognized in the BIOS?

  Generally, the CD/DVD drive using the own Microsoft drivers and it should work with Win XP, Vista and Win 7.

• missing cd/dvd drivers on the new install of win7

  I have a HP Pavillion H8-1230.  Replaced the hard drive with a new 2 to Seagate.  Tried to make a new, clean installation of Windows 7 Pro but I get an error that says: "a required cd/dvd device driver is missing."  I always thought that basic device drivers have been included in Windows, but I guess I'm wrong.  I can't find this driver anywhere.  My CD/DVD-rom is a DVD SuperMulti of HP GH60L burner. Can someone please help?

  Hello

  Try the following.

  Using another PC, download driver RAID on the following link.

  Storage controller driver - Windows 7 32 bit.

  Storage controller driver - Windows 7 64 bit.

  Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note that If you have a 64-bit installation, download and install the Installer x 64 64-bit .msi on the link below.

  http://www.7-zip.org/

  Then, right click on the storage controller installation program you download, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  Copy this file "extract" at the root of a USB or a blank CD key.

  When you get to install error message, plug the USB (if you used a CD, remove the installation disc and insert the CD), and then select the option 'Load the Drivers' - navigate to the location on the CD/USB and load the driver.

  Kind regards

• CDRW/DVD drivers for S1800-921

  I'm trying to find the drivers of replacement for CD-RW/dvd drive in my Satellite 1800-921. It is not on the cd I got with the computer (at least I have reinstall all the software that I don't want to do). The update of the driver on this Web site has nothing either.
  Any ideas?
  I don't necessarily want new drivers, those original will do, anything to try to make my player works correctly.
  Thank you

  Hi Jonathan,.

  If the drivers you need are not on Toshiba website you may be able to get them on the drive manufacturers web site instead.

  You can find the brand and model of the Device Manager.

  Another option is to Google for the drivers, (even once you will need to know the model and serial numbers.)
