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
Which Windows installation you want to connect?
(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):
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.

Satellite A60 crashes and restart the cycle - missing or damaged system32\DRIVERS\Ntfs
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60, who has recently developed a serious problem and is currently blocked in a crash restart cycle. He started with the message "missing or damaged system32\DRIVERS\Ntfs", I've read about this problem on discussion forums, but am still unable to find a solution.
Currently on start error messages appear indicating a driver is missing or damaged, the Toshiba start page has vertical lines of missing data and on a few occasions it will fully start after a short period of time vertical lines appear on the screen and it crashes.
I tried a number of bugs:
* Re installed windows XP pro (formatting the hard drive and renew the partitions)
* Update the bios on the site of toshiba in version 1.90 (I think that the update also flashes the bios, but would need this confirmation?)
Swapping the hard drive with a portable, yet no longer starts and HD works fine in another laptop, dismissing the possibility of missing or corrupt files.I realize that this could be a problem with the RAM and think that the laptop has 512 fixed to the motherboard, accessable without stripping down, but do not know how to determine if the RAM is the problem. While trying these fixes, I get problems with the start of the player and can only get the disk to launch and recognize the CD about 1 to 10 times.
Could someone suggest a remedy or a fix I can try? or suggest how they fixed a similar problem. Thank you very much
You ssounds not very good ;(description
The hardware malfunction appears to be responsible for the vertical lines on the screen
If vertical lines appear also an external display, the jury may be wrong.You re right, I Googled, and it seems that Sat A60 supports an internal memory.
As far as I know, this memory cannot be removed and only an electronics could solve this internal memory.
But are you sure that the internal memory is impaired. The device supports only 256 MB internal memory and other modules are removable
If you can try to replace -
Computer laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that does not start as a system file is missing or damaged:
«I have a laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that won't start as "" Windows has no start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "»»
Rescue and Recovery Tools will allow me to restore the hard drive to factory settings, but I prefer to back up important data first. Rescue and recovery apparently allow backup and pays the appropriate folder / structure of files, but the "Start" option is grayed out.
Then I tried to boot from Windows XP CD but it signals that it has no hard drive, although Rescue and Recovery can apparently go to folder/file structure.
How can I move it please?
Thank you very much - Simonides
