error system32\drivers\fastfat.sys

Windows XP does not start on my old Acer laptop. I need to access to get some info out voltage work to use it on my new laptop with windows 7

Now that we know what the message really says, you can set to see if you can fix it.

I don't know why on my system at home, it works fine if the fastfat.sys file is missing or damaged (I reproduce both scenarios), but maybe the Acer machines ask him.

You must boot to something to start to repair, so do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and get that working first.

According to Acer, your system has a CD/DVD drive.

Fortunately, XP keep copies of important system files in other places on your system, so once you enter the Recovery Console, we can see on the replacement of the file.  I suspect that your antivirus/antimalware has quarantined (actually deleted) file.

You need to get this CD bootable XP Recovery first Console, I would run the chkdsk/r as shown and and report back that it works, then we can move forward.   It is likely that running chkdsk/r will solve your problem of missing file, but run it anyway.

If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con. ISO

Download the ISO from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

http://www.ImgBurn.com/

When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

Press any key to boot from CD...

Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

CHKDSK C: /r

Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    missing or corrupt file error system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys keeps appearing. I had a problem with google chrome and then stop everything. This error appeared. It tells me to use the cr rom boot but xp was already loaded on the sony vaio that we bought a few years ago.

    If your data is not backed up, then at some point that the data will be lost.

    Your Sony are delivered with a hidden restore partition or recovery disks, but I do not think that the Sony recovery allows to repair an installation of win, only pure install.

    You must remove the drive and it slave on another PC in order to retrieve the data, or take it to a decent repair shop for them to do it for you

  • BSOD, c:\windows\system32\drivers\mrxdav.sys error?

    I am a veterinary technician, not a computer tech, so I'm out of my depth on this and need help, because these computers are essential for the work I do.

    I work with two laptops, Dell Latitude D600 (I know, I know - they're old.) New ones have been approved as soon as budget free of the order).  Specifications are the following:

    1.60 Ghz processor; 27 GB hard drive; 599 Mhz, 256 MB of RAM, running Windows XP Pro w/Service Pk 3

    We use one of the cell phones as our main unit and the other is our backup.  About 3 weeks, our main unit suddenly came with the BSOD on boot-up top, with the following error message:

    C:\windows\system32\drivers\mrxdav.sys

    The driver unloaded without cancelling pending operations.

    We had not added anything to the extent of the software or hardware is concerned and had not changed anything except for the addition of new text files through an application that we run.  A opted for our backup laptop and who ran very well for the last few weeks, but now we get the same BSOD and error on this unit as well.  I was able to get the machine backup at startup and function normally after about 100 restarts the other day, and he ran all day with no problems once that it loaded everything.

    How do we get this straightened out? We do not have a computer scientist - just a couple of people who know a little more to turn on a computer/turn off.  I ran a clean-up/management application (I-Obit AdvancedCare) for cleaning the registry errors, etc., but that has not solved the problem.

    The error message indicates an infection, but because you have scanned, it is more likely that the portable master knows hardware problems and/or the operating system is corrupt. If you are Imaging for the second laptop, that explains why you see the same questions about this. Best free now part of budget money.

  • Error message on my Vista computer: missing or damaged file: C:/windows/system32/drivers/ATAPI.sys. (Status: OXC0000098). NO RECOVERY DISK! (lost).

    Missing or damaged file: C:/windows/system32/drivers/ATAPI.sys. (Status: OXC0000098). NO RECOVERY DISK! (lost). How can I recover my system, if possible? It does not even start.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  The Startup Repair tool can repair atapt.sys.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (click on the F8 key during startup and go into safe mode with network - or using the prompt from the disk, if necessary, several times).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (skip thiis step if you use the disk)...

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  In a best-case scenario, he'll fix Atapi.sys.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / event viewer - type eventvwr and enter, if do it from the command prompt).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    I hope this helps.  Post back the results of the analysis and attempts to repair if these do not work.

  • Satellite A100 - c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys blue screen error

    Hello

    Hoping someone can help with this.

    I have a Toshiba A100 with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

    When I try to start my computer, I get a message saying that windows did not start successfully.
    I gives me the options of:
    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt
    Last good known Configuration
    Start Windows normally

    None of these options works. When I try Safe Mode, I get the following message:

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition\Windows\system32. .. .etc

    This message is repeated over and over again very fast, each time with a different .sys file at the end. Then I get this message:

    Press ESC to stop loading c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys...
    If I press ESC, I get the following blue screen:

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    The problem seems to be caused by the following file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys

    Has anyone had experience with this? Any advice?

    It would be much appreciated.

    Seems the OS or the partition where the operating system has been installed, is corrupted.
    I don't know why this happened, but there are different reasons for this

    In any case, I think that you have no choice as to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.

    You want to get access to the data on the HARD drive?
    Well, you could remove the laptop HARD drive and it could connect as an external USB device to another computer. Then, you should try to copy the data to another HARD disk.

    Original title: during repair XP Pro from the disk installation, everything crashes.

    I am writing this plea on my desktop, pc Win 7 it. The pc is older and elsewhere in the House.

    Due to the white/white space in Add/Remove Programs, after checking the extent of possible for viruses, corruption Reg, etc., the advice of consensus was to reinstall the Windows, using the disc (this XP Pro was on the HARD drive when I got the pc - new to 2009 - and I did the back-up recommended/controlled , and that's what I was doing Rcounter Set up, around 1700 BST.

    Everything seemed to go OK, but black screen of Windows is now the small hourglass circulating and 'Please wait '.  The HARD drive is flickering, but it's been more than 3 hours!

    My second pc was rotten, and I had to reinstall or repair XP Home [disk] a few times. It is only 35 GB, compared to more than 100 on the pc in question - but I've never met before delay.

    Installation messages were as follows:

    EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found.  I checked this point, and it should not have caused any problems. It has also sought a labeled disc 'Machine Virtual Network Services', which no doubt, since I did not, was never necessary.

    I'll leave it on - but...

    Help, please!

    Well, I had to bow to the inevitable. Please accept this response as a ' I've been there - it could happen to you. "

    I spoke to BT [they provide my broadband] and the helpful guy asked me to look at the installation and reinstall in a different place. It's OK, but [, BUT] some of the drivers have been zapped in eternity. PCI, sounds, videos. The guy thought BT that these had been modified or replaced since the beginning, whereas they were not available. The XP Prof is on the pc when I got it, but I assumed that the pilots were on the backup disk, I did. No, they were not. And how to go online to search for them if we could not put in place the ethernet connection?
    So, I bought Win - 7 it 32-bit full ed. [be too afraid to try an upgrade].

    It could have been a response in the migration of these from other drivers, but I guess it was time to go.

    As I can't afford to buy new COREL, MS Word, etc, I have installed free VMWare player as a host for my older progs in a virtual environment.

    Another thing came out of this: although what remained of XP has been saved by 7 as WINDOWS.old, I am very happy that I had a HDD eternal with ntfs to preserve my files and installable 3rd party progs.

    I hope this might help someone - thanks for the info.

    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.

    What have you tried to fix it?

    What is the error message (all)?

    Says, the file: \Windows\System32\Drivers\oduzt.sys
    Situation: 0xc0000225

    I've never heard of this file...

    What was the last thing you did before the problem started?

    Tried to delete/remove virus and malware
    Malwarebytes
    used, Microsoft's malicious remover<-- from="" microsoft="">
    the Microsoft file was the last thing I used before that happened.
    literally on reboot has happened.

    What are your system specs?
    Vista sp1 home
    Laptop Gateway
    Guessing 32bits
    Model no: MA7
    Model mt6840
    I'll tell you more if I could pull up? I can access the recovery cd cmd there at - it a command that will show?

    Do you have a screenshot?
    a little... haha taken with a camera...

    Also I was wondering... is there a way I can run a partition to say windows XP and take all the files off your computer and save them.

    then if it comes down to it, I can just empty the computer and install vista?

    Hello

    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
    readers of media such as CD, DVD or USB.

    Sounds like malware: (see message using startup so you can't run Safe Mode).

    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
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
