Dmboot.sys file is corrupted, Windows XP screen flashes back.
Dmboot.sys file is corrupt, option of safe mode back but does not help once selected. Flashing at the back of the screen the WindowsXP and safe mode
You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a necessity to implement KB307545.
Suggesting a KB307545 as a first troubleshooting step akin to say "I don't know what the problem is or how to solve this problem", in particular, and even worse when you have no symptoms.
My system does not use dmboot.sys, but obviously you don't (or want to). If yours is grieving, you can usually replace using backups on your system already, so I look at that first.
It's too bad that MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so it knows absolutely nothing about your system then this is what I would do...
Since you can get Safe Mode, follow these steps:
Click Start, run and enter in the box:
cmd
Click OK to open a command prompt window.
The dmboot.sys file must be in this folder (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive):
c:\Windows\System32\Drivers
Depending on your installation, enter the following command:
copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\dmboot.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.
If the file has not been found in the dllcache folder (it should really be), enter this command:
copy c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\dmboot.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers
If it is still not found, then I can download one on my SkyDrive and you can download it and replace the one on your system.
After replacing the file, restart and see what things look like.

Satellite M115-S30394 - config.sys file is corrupt
I bought a Satellite M115 S 30394 is about 2 years.
The first year he had 9 hard drives and Toshiba said they replaced the motherboard 2 times.It still does not work and the senario is first a message that the config.sys file is corrupt and after correcting it will work for a few days, then a message appears that the hard drive is about to fail and he does it in 2 days.
I replaced because he couldn't be trusted in my company but I was wondering if someone has any ideas so that I can have as a spare.
Thank you
Hello
If you get the message that the HARD disk fails, then it s advisable to replace it.
But it s really strange questionIn any case, I never had this problem on one of my notebooks, but I think you should test the notebook with a new HARD drive.
Good luck

When I run the Setup in the program screen flash backs and trying to change back, but then return to the windows form.
* original title - back program will not be run. *
How old is this program and what is his name? If you give us the name of the program someone read here who have experience with the peculiarities of the program might be able to provide more help.
Open a command prompt, and then try running Setup from the command prompt. To start a command prompt, type CMD in the box run from the start menu and press or click OK
. At the command prompt, you can use the CD command to navigate to the CD, or you can run the Setup program by using the full path to the Setup program, for example: x:\Install.exe
where x is the CD drive letter.

Cannot reinstall Windows Vista because the Windows.old file is corrupted.
I hope someone can help! I'm about to pull out my hair! :)
I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720, under Windows Vista Home Premium, with 3 GB of ram. SP2
I had problems with error messages
Here are some of the messages I was getting.
"Dell Quickset has stopped working"
"Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped working"
"The user profile service has stopped working".
"Windows Update has stopped working"
There were a couple more but I do not remember. They are all gave me the ability to check online for a solution I have chosen and the message would go for a while, but not forever.
I'm tired of dealing with him, so I used my Dell disk to reinstall Vista. I did not choose the repair option first. I chose to do a clean install. When I got to the last step where it says "Complete the Installation", it gave me an error message telling me that the "Windows.old" file is corrupted. I do not have wright the rest of the information down, but he told me to run the check disk utility. (I think it has been shown as chkdsk). I clicked 'OK' and the screen went black and stayed like that for an hour. I turned off the computer and repeat all the steps but always goes to the black screen and stops. I tried to use the fix and it found a problem immediately and that fixed it, but after reboot, same thing. Yesterday I ran again the repair option, and it still works today. All night and nothing. She is still ongoing as I type this message. My question is how to run disk utility to check without an operating system installed? Use the "Diagnostic" option when I boot the disk from Dell? Any ideas on how I can get reinstalled Vista?

You can back up your data is to put the drive in another computer as a 2nd car or
in an external USB enclosure. Both methods would allow you to save the data in removable

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

Hi saisinga,
This error messages are usually caused due to the failure or corruption of files of drivers on the computer.
I would first check if you are able to boot in safe mode.
Start your computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-modeIf you are unable to boot into safe mode then I suggest that you try a startup repair using the vista installation disk and check.
If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
1. Insert the installation disc.
2. restart your computer.
Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
5. click on repair your computer.
6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
Check out the link for more information below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problemIf restarting fails then try a system restore using the windows vista installation disc.

1 put the installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2. press a key when you are prompted.
Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions
3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard method or entry , and then click Next.
4. click on repair your computer
5. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next
In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point that was created when the program or the driver has been installed.

Hello, I had a lot of problems with my computer.
In the past months, if a tap some area of my computer when my computer is turned on, my computer has two answers to this. 1.) screen turning black but computer remaining on. Restart computer 2.). (This area is located to the left of my touchpad / touch area of my computer.)
If I try to turn on my computer, the three "signs Lock" light on my computer and the icon of a cell tower. The screen remains black. So that my computer to turn back once again, I have to remove the battery for a few seconds and put back in.
Recently, my computer wanted to check one of my disks for consistency. and on a different file each time, my computer is stuck on this one for a minute or two, then said the file file is unreadable / it is corrupt. It is then placed on the following, and the same thing again and again.
Another problem is that some programs on my computer take a very long time to load, as well as tabs.
Also, sometimes when I start my computer, he recommends that I launch startup repair. So I press on enter and it takes me to a screen that says basically that my OS is corrupted / not working properly.
I tried to restore my computer to an earlier time, and when I do it gives me an error message saying something about Windows files is corrupt and cannot restore my computer to an earlier time before the problem is resolved.
In the past, my computer had problems of heat fan.
It also has a battery problem in which it loses its charge very quickly if not connected to a power source.
I talked to a technician of the answer, and he gave me instructions to/on will my command prompt and try to create a new user account.
On the first attempt, he told me to type the following: net user "Test" / Add
The CMD response was that the password did not meet the requirements of the policy.
Then he told me to try the following: ' user 'Test' net account / add ".
The response was that «the system is not the specified path»
Finally he told me to try the following: net user administrator / Active: Yes
The answer was: "the user name was not found. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2221.
Technology reply told me that the problem was more complex than he thought and said he had to do a session of access on my computer. He told me about the tax of $149.99 and I told him that I couldn't do it.
Now, I came to the community in the hope of help.

How to 'fix' corrupted Windows system file?
My laptop suddenly don't initialize-go to top. It was OK, then gave me a black screen with the message:
"Windows was not start because the following file is missing or damaged:

You can attempt to repair this file by running Windows Setup using the original
Installation CD. Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair. »
I have the game of four discs of product recovery CD, but do not want to format and start again if I don't have to.
My question is how to get to the Windows installation, so I can do a repair, rather than a recovery format, and can I use the product recovery CD or original file on drive c: to re - install and repair a missing or damaged file?

Tips on how to get to the Windows installation and attempt a repair would be much appreciated. Thank you, Bruce Taylor
Hi BaTaylorEsq,
You need Win XP installation disk to repair the corrupted files, and no you can't use discs of recovery or any other original files on your C: drive to repair a missing or damaged file.
I have repaired several times Win XP with installation disc, it is very simple. I suggest you do some reading from instance however link:- http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm#RI
