Satellite A60: Startup problem (missing or corrupted file)

The other day I was installing a program it crashed and now when I try to start it it continues to come up with an error message saying "file missing or corrupt. system32\driver\ntfs.sys' and to solve this problem using the original windows xp disc.

Windows was already installed on the laptop and I have no such disc, ive run the disk recovery, but that has not solved the problem. Ive even tried to create a boot disk using nero burner, but you need a windows xp disc to do.

Y at - it round anywere without sending on fixed or go out and buy windows xp?

Hello

Try to do a low-level disk format before starting the recovery CD.

Kind regards

    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

  • The disk on the Satellite A60 boot problem

    I have a Satellite A60, I thought that the HARD drive was not on.

    When you turn on the machine, it goes beyond the POST screen and starts with the startup of Windows XP, I get the blue bars moving and the XP logo then IT just freezes.

    Replaced the HARD drive for a brand new, re-installed the OS but I have the exact problem in the same exact spot.

    Any help appreciated

    Hello

    If reinstalling the system does not work, you can try to reinstall the BIOS. If not help too, the problem must be hardware related. Your only chance is a service partner, cause then you can't do it yourself.

    Hi WEBERSCHLOTZSKY,

    1. When you receive the error message?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. what happens when you try to copy the file from the Windows XP CD?

    There are several reasons for this error message to occur.

    This problem is often caused when the boot.ini file is missing or misconfigured. This problem often occurs when a user has recently added or removed from an operating system on the computer or added or deleted hard disk drives in the computer.

    If you are unable to start Windows and the error message then consult the below Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

  • Re: Satellite A60 - overheating problem

    Hello

    I have some difficulties to adjust temperature and fan on my Satellite A60.
    The operating system is Debian and the fan operates at temperatures of 60-65 degrees Celsius (without any process started after the login).
    I had installed utilities like toshutils, fancontrol, lm-sensors... but basically I have not found a solution for this:

    toshiba_acpi #modprobe
    Error: No such device

    Toshiba #modprobe
    Error: No such device

    Now, I ask you advice, please.
    If there are no alternative solutions, recompiling the kernel 2.6.24 (or other) is a solution to this problem? If the answer is 'Yes', how to prepare the package source?

    Now the system works, but not very well at that latitude this question isn't a good prelude to my summer job.

    Best regards

    HM,

    already checked the debian/gentoo/ubuntu forums? Or maybe freshmeat.net where toshutils all appear in their projects?

    Unfortunately I can't tell you why the modprobe won´t work but don't you compiled the kernel option ACPI from toshiba? It must be something that controls the trough of explicitly from functions ACPI kernel using the userlevel tools.

    By the way: have you read newspapers after trying the modprobe of the listed modules you´ve? Please make the modprobe more 'verbose', there may be something usable...

  • Satellite A60: charging problem

    Hey,.
    I have a toshiba satellite A60 laptop. My laptop has 2 years. After that I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell because the battery was empty. When I plugged it on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went back. The battery and the batteryled came out.

    Windows detects the battery however. The laptop still continues to operate on the battery for a few minutes. I already had this problem about a year ago, and after a few months the battery began to charge again.

    Someone at - it a simular problem and how do you solve?

    Thanks (sorry for the bad English)

    Hello

    Maybe the battery cannot load properly because he has a malfunction.
    Generally, the battery performance decreases the extent of time.
    I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance breaks down.
    You can try to remove the battery for a few times. After this time try to load it.
    I also recommend check if this problem also occurs with a new battery.

    But it is also possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply.
    This could have a negative influence on the loading process.
    I also read that the BIOS update have solved some problems of charging the battery.
    But if charging the battery worked for 2 years, so I guess that the BIOS is ok.

    However, check with a new battery.

    Symptom:
    Keys is de-energized or gives wrong output. The problems occurs randomly, either right at startup or after availability. Looks like it's a hardware related issue and not a problem with the OS. The problem occurs in several OS´s and even in the BIOS-meny. None of the solutions posted in this forum / other items solves the problem.

    The battery is not a solution (as suggested in other posts), the problem reoccurs after availability and sometimes even right to restart the computer. (Et laisse le visage, un ordinateur portable sans une batterie est un _stationary_) =)

    No! It's not overheating and heat issue, this problem may occur at startup after a powerdown complete with battery and power removed. (and no, this isn't a problem of dust or a problem of broken / lack of cooling-fans/ventilation)

    I use the lates for my model BIOS, so make a habit/flash-update of the bios to solve the problem.
    Default factory restore is not a solution either, but _différemment_ ive tried, even if this problem most def is a hardware problem.

    All the other solutions suggested by other posters solves the problem (most of them software related bugs in any case).

    The links that you post are not related to the A210 but L670 laptop model and it was reading about L670 and the problem has been resolved by the BIOS updated

    I have a laptop A210 and this issue never happened to me.
    I installed Win XP, Vista and Win 7 on the Satellite A210 and keyboard is ok.

    You have already updated the BIOS and fact laptop recovery and this didn't help?

  • Satellite 1410 801 stops loading Windows - corrupt files

    For several months I have problems at the start of my laptop: it will restart several times, stop to perform the will of loading windows; Sometimes I get start of message (registry) files are corrupted etc. In most cases, it will start after several tests correctly. I already reinstalled (clean disk) made several memory and disc of the controls without any error message. What can be the reason for this problem?

    I intend to replace the memory card or HARD drive BUT if this should solve the problem. Can someone give some advice or tips?

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to give a correct diagnosis. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system, in my opinion, you should check HARD drive first (upgrades and hope that other hardware components are original without).

    Try to get another HARD drive, Exchange and install the OS by using recovery media. In my opinion, it should be the first step.

  • My Dell Precision 370 computer not start Windows XP, due to A MISSING or CORRUPT FILE.

    The file that is missing, is a Windows root folder called > System32\hal.dll

    Since this computer Dell was bought for our children used to use, I don't have any Windows XP disk to install the missing file of root or reinstall Windows XP software.

    So, how can I get this missing windows xp root file, in order to exploit the windows xp software?

    I tried to re - start the dell computer, but nothing works!

    If someone could help me, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Is is extremely unlikely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged.

    It is extremely likely that XP can't find it either because the file system is afflicted or XP is told to find the file in the right place.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    We should first check the inetegiry of your file system and then see what then to do.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    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 may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    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/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    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.
