Try to reinstall Windows XP, error: "Stop: c0000221 unknown hard Error\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll".

Now, I tried to do a clean install of the operating system, and while the machine is to load the required drivers from the operating system cd drive, I get this error message. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm really stuck!

  • STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error\Systemroot\System32\ntdll.dll

    I have a Dell Vostro 1500 running Windows XP Home edition.  During the Windows boot the system falls down and shows the error in the title above. I replaced and improved hard drive and modules memory live with Dell components and tried to launch the system to start disk.  Same result screen, blue with the unknown hard Error\Systemroot\System32\ntdll.dll STOP: 0000221.  Then new hardware configuration and system bootable drive equals the same result.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thank you, everyone, for all the good advice and help. Interestingly, I used a reinstall drive different (one for the same version of Windows XP SP2), and it worked fine. I think this would indicate that the original disk could have been the cause of the problem, but I tried to install the operating system with this drive just to be safe, and it worked. It should be noted that I did no changes to the machine until I tried the new disk, then retried first that I tried to use to reinstall the operating system. This suggests that, regardless of the problem, he don't has not been caused a constant problem.

    My Dell crashed.   When I try to restart, it will start not (in any mode): can't go in Safe Mode or last mode of work or other.   I managed to get to the blue screen and I saw the following: STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll

    I have all the original disks.
    Can I use the Microsoft XP disk and how can I reinstall without wiping my hard drive (I'm terrified by wiping my hard drive)

    Will this work?

  • STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error\Systemroot\System32\ntdll.dll mean I lost my hard drive?

    Does this mean I lost my hard drive? Do I need to use the ERD? I don't understand not anywhere with F8 or F10, just the message of the screen and stop.

    You have never actually seen, made an effort to replicate it and never actually solved this problem before, have you?

    Give me instructions on how to apply the resolution alleged in the article:

    To resolve this problem, obtain a new copy of the corrupted file or reinstall Windows XP. If you continue to receive one of the error messages that are described in the "Summary" section after you have reinstalled Windows XP, a hardware problem or network may exist.

    Tip: I don't have XP CD and there is no "Summary" on this page.

    It seems that you come to search Bing and post a link to the first MS KB article that appears.

    Don't you think it might be a bad CD/DVD player, a bad cable CD/DBD or little RAM bad?

    Why not unplug/uncable the CD/DVD drive and then see how things work?

    Of course, we don't know if there's a since the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, but that's what I would say.

    Hello

    I saw the 0x0000007B BSOD caused by trying to install XP on a disk hard while the BIOS is designating the reader as AHCI instead of IDE. XP has no native AHCI drivers, resulting in a stop 7B. Unless the PC had originally Vista or Win 7, but it might be useful to check that it is not likely.

    If the BIOS is set to AHCI, you could do one of three things (depending on whether your PC has a floppy drive)...

    1 find the Setup F6 disk on AHCI support at installation time (start with the manufacturer's website if you do not already have such a thing). Watch the very hit F6 prompt early in the installation process.

    2. change the setting in BIOS on IDE / ATA

    3. create a new "slipstreaming" installation disc drivers AHCI in the existing installation disc, see http://www.nliteos.com/index.html

    After the back if your BIOS is IDE / ATA

  • When I try to reinstall Windows XP on my Toshiba laptop, it works until I reboot. Then it says nvrd32.sys not found: press any key to continue.

    original title: NVRD32. SYS ERROR

    When I try to reinstall Windows XP SP3 on my Toshiba laptop, it works until the first reboot. When I boot on CD it comes up saying nvrd32.sys is not found: press any key to continue. When I press a key it is said: the Installer failed. Press a key to restart your computer.

    So, I don't know what to do. I tried searching on google and found a set, but talk of computer that I couldn't begin to understand. Basically, what I consider somewhere or can I fix it myself? I just paid for a new disk of Windows XP SP3, so I'm not looking forward to having to pay someone to use it.

    Hello

    ·         Windows XP came preinstalled on your laptop?

    ·         If so, you have a recovery partition?

    ·         Where did you buy the disc of Windows XP SP3 for?

    nvrd32.sys file is a chipset driver and must be installed via floppy F6 during initial installation.

    Method 1: To do this, follow these steps.

    a. you can download the chipset drivers from Toshiba Web site and copy it to a floppy drive.

    b. press F6 at the start of the installation of Windows XP.

    c. follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers for the chipset.

    Method 2: You can contact Toshiba to restore to factory on the laptop.

  • How to fix STOP: C0000221 unknown error

    Hello

    I get the following error - STOP: C0000221 unknown error. The message appears for 3-4 seconds a blue screen then the screen goes black and I get the Windows Error Recovery screen. If I choose to start windows normally or in safe mode, I always get the blue screen with STOP: C0000221 message.

    My SSD with a version of Dreamweaver CS6 running crashed. Now a new SSD is installed and every time I try to reinstall DW CS6 error "inconsistency in the database Setup" (in German terms) occurs. I tried to delete everything about CS6, rebootet and so forth--nothing worked. Two hours later, I tried to install DW 5.5 - that worked. Then I tried again to install 6.0 - without success. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your response. I could not find caps.db.

    Meanwhile, I solved the problem as follows: I searched "dreamweaver" everywhere one deleted all that I could find. Then I googled "CS6" and did the same. I guess that there are around 20 or more places where I deleted files or directories. Suddenly, installation has not prevented, to 2%, what he has always done before and the installation was a success :-) It cost me more than 4 hours to understand this, and I have found a trick somewhere really help. Adobe itself I could not contact because I couldn't find an email address or a phone number - poor support for such expensive software. For luck, I didn't deliver something just in time. Missing a useful support, it's an attitude really poor, poor Adobe... I think that I do not buy not more products Adobe - it could cost too much of my time... :-(

    Hello

    Please follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if that helps you.

    Step 1: First we will analyze the system for infections using the Microsoft Security Scanner which can be downloaded from the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: You can lose data while eliminating malware.

    Also check if your system has been hijacked:
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Step 2: Run System File Checker.

    (a) open command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    (b) type the following command and press ENTER:
    (c) sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Step 3: Download Windows XP SP3 manually Microsoft Web site and save it to your desktop:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=41&SrcFamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&SrcDisplayLang=en&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2fd%2f3%2f0%2fd30e32d8-418a-469d-b600-f32ce3edf42d%2fWindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe

    Disable the security software and implement the system in clean boot. After that, run Service Pack 3 installation by double-clicking on the file that you downloaded.

    Try now to the KB article to perform the clean boot:
