  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.

• 0xC0000221 error windows didn't load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  Hey, I got a letter on my laptop to install service pack 2 for windows vista and I did it with no complications until I reset my laptop and when it came back I received an error:

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
  3. click on "repair your computer."

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  File: \Windows\System32\drivers\ecache.sys
  Status: 0xc0000221
  Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  I followed these instructions several times and made repairs to start ending telling me that "Windows cannot repair this problem automatically" and "If you recently set a device to this computer, like a camera or portable music player, remove it and then restart your computer." I have nothing connected to the computer.

  I also tried to restore the system that is not no matter how far back that I try to restore to.

  I really hope that someone can help me! I've read through dozens of discussions without results. The laptop I use for establishing the budget, research and games has Windows Vista.  I was downloading of test (probably too at the time) and my system crashed.  I do not have the installation disk, or pre-installed her "takeover of marketing", did the thing F8 nothing helps and I can't afford to lose any files.

  Hello

  Via F8 safe mode is not an option for you, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

• Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or damaged

  I have windows vista OS, I ran the update and when I went to re-booting I got an error of the black screen that says: failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or damaged, and now I can't get my computer to start windows. I created a disc of recovery from the internet, but it cannot solve the problem.

  When you say that a recovery disk can not solve the problem you should say disk was and what did you actually

  have you tried this:

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

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

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Every day I get this error message and send it to Microsoft.  32\svhost.exe C:\Systems32/Drivers\c30a67ae1d5f4bd4.sys AND C:\Windows\system

  Also: Microsoft called me about a report of my computer.  My daughter thought it was a hoax and hung up.  Is there a way I can connect with this Department once again?

  Microsoft does not automatically contact you if you send details of error for them.  They use these reports to see what types of questions are trending and those that are trending upwards looked at herself.  The rest cannot.

  And your daughter has been very wise - the call she received WAS a scam and she did well to cling to their topic.  Microsoft never call you unless you call them first, and they tell you that they will call back.

• Missing base system driver?

  Hi all

  Then, I saw this problem listed for other users with other computers, and it seems that it is specific to the computer model of the problem.  So, I have a ProBook s 4540, with a missing base system driver, cannot be updated automatically (when I run the troubleshooter, the driver is not found)... Suggestions?  Thank you!!

• 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.

  Can you do a right click on the file and select Properties. Please provide the details of what you will find in particular a name or a description?

• 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
  The driver mistakenly marked a part of his image pagable instead of nonpagable.

  I don't know what except using the product recovery CD and fitness in shape, but I can't afford to lose some of the data on my computer, and this would erase everything.

  Has anyone had experience with this? Any advice?

  It would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  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.

• 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.

  Start with the RAM and then make the hard drive.

  If good test material, back up your data if necessary and do a clean install of Windows.
