Windows path not found "\DOSDevices\c:\pedriver.txt does not exist.

All of a sudden when I try to boot my system WinXP SP3, I get a 'there is no \DOSDevices\c:\pedriver.txt' to start Win XP with the Windows Log On window. When I click OK to clear the dialog box, and then click OK to log on to Windows, I hear the sound Log ON, but when the sound is done, I hear the sound Log Off and the system returns to the Windows Log On screen, but without"\DOSDevices\c:\pedriver.txt does not exist" on the Win XP startup dialog box.

Reboot, hard boots, will not fix the problem. However do all start causes"\DOSDevices\c:\pedriver.txt does not exist" on Win XP startup dialog box back.

I have slave drive to my laptop and run my Zone Alarm Sucurity following the control of the virus and Malwarebytes [after definition updates] to search for malicious spyware and the player but it coomes clean place.

Is there a way to check the registry on a remote boot disk?

.. got answers?

Thanks for the reply fast Sam!

After posting my Q, I decided ry as troubleshooting steps myself since I found nothing on Google about this error.

I slaved the drive via the USB port on my Win7 laptop, then I ran my ZASS virus protection, who come clean, I ran Malwarebytes looking for spyware, which also came clean, so I ran CHKDSK, replaced the drive and it started without the annoying dialog box or the journal the / disconnect vicious.

Unfortunately it seems that exhausted CHKDSK ~ 110 GB of my concert ~ 130 HD space... know a way to reclaim this free space?

I have posted a separate Q on this issue.

  • Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

    Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

    Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

    My Boot.ini file at this time was:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

    (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

    I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

    He gave me something like:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

    I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

    I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

    I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

    I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

    My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

    Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

    Someone has an idea?

    PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

    Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

    Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

    In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

    In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

    (except I've had the first installation already done).

    Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

    EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

  • Linksys - router bridge - E8350 path not found network

    Dear community of Linksys,

    I recently bought a Linksys E8350 router, to replace the old AP in my network domestic.

    To make the installer of my clear network, I did a little diagram:

    So, as you can see, at the top left is the router/modem provided by my internet provider (Telenet, Belgium).

    I have a wired connection in my room, where I have my desktop and NAS connected computer. I also plugged the

    Linksys E8350 that is configured in Bridge mode. My laptop is connected wireless to the E8350.

    On the E8350, I disabled DHCP and NAT and gave him a static IP outside the range of my other router.

    My problem:

    When I go to the network through windows file Explorer, I can see my desktop from my laptop and vice versa.

    But when I double click to access one of them, I get the error message "network path not found".

    Connection via start > \\Computer-name gives the same error.

    Since my laptop or my desktop, I can see my NAS on the network. I have internet on all my devices:

    My office through internet cable connection, my laptop has wireless internet connection trough

    and I can evaluate my NAS from the internet.

    When I remove the E8350 entirely from my network and connect my laptop a hollow wired connection.

    everything works fine. I can see all the devices on the network, connect to my NAS and share files between computers.

    Things I tried already:

    -My PC and laptop are both in a 'private network '.

    -J' disabled my firewall

    -Everything is activated in the menu "sharing advanced settings."

    -J' tried to connect the E8350 to the switch via the Ethernet or WLAN port, nor to solve the problem

    -J' tried to change the NETBIOS settings

    -I don't have your antivirus software that might interfere with something

    -J' updated the firmware on my linksys router to the latest version

    To be clear, the problem occurs when I put the E8350 in my network, otherwise everything works perfectly.

    I hope that I have provided some information decent on my problem, because I can't seem to figure it out myself.

    Thank you in advance.

    Pindox

    The topology of your network is effective from your diagram. With the E8350 in mode bridge in this topology is WAN is connected to the network switch.

    Many devices of bridge no hand NetBios address very well. In some cases, the best way to access the network through a bridge device resources is to use remote devices IP address instead of its computer\device network name.

    In Windows, you can drive old school card NAS records using the IP address of the Servers\NAS:

    PC command line:

    NET use s: \\192.168.0.3\my_nas_folder / persistent: Yes

  • Backup files Vista - "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."

    I have a Vista computer.  The hard drive broke so until I replaced it I backed up all the files on the computer to another computer running Windows 7. I did it in the backup and Restore Center.  I made a backup of files, not a full backup of the system (I've seen the full backup of the system mentioned in other posts, but that was not an option... maybe which is only available on Vista Premium).  In any case, I replaced the hard drive and then try to restore the files, but I get the message "Windows could not find any backup sets [file path]."  Anyone have any ideas?  Thank you.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • To connect to a shared folder between PC - error Code 0 x 80070035 "network path not found."

    I have a client with 8 computers on a workgroup network.

    Among youth, 2 computers not talking to each other or to connect to shared folders on the other drive. Both computers will speak on other computers on the network (wireless).

    I looked at all the solutions that have been validated for the message Error Code 0 x 80070035 "network path not found." and none of them have solved the problem. I can't ping one computer to another. I noticed that when troubleshooting on the PC (both are desktop windows 7), 'client' that when I ping the other PC it returns an IPV4 (192.168.x.x) address, but when I ping another PC on the network returns an IPV6 address. I tried to turn off IPV6 adapter in the network adapter settings. It made no difference. I searched several 6to4 adapters in Device Manager, but only 1 exists. Turn it off did not seem to make a difference. As I said, both PC's are accessible by other computers on the network (wireless), but they cannot access each other.

    Restart both computers several times (including cold starts and stops).

    The only one I don't have not tried yet is releasing and renewing the IP address on both.

    Any suggestions?

    Well I fixed it myself.

    In this case, there was a number of things I've done.

    First of all, I checked to make sure that the firewall is not the issue. It wasn't.

    Secondly, I checked the network connection to see if it has been set to the office network. One of them was, and that we have tried to connect to a was created for the Public network. Who changed the network and restarted.

    Who has not solved the problem.

    Finally, in desperation more than any other thing, I restart the network modem.

    Guess what? That fixed the problem.

    So, I guess it was a problem of ARP table or some other problem. When I tried to ping from the "client PC' on the shared drive PC, the IP address was 192.168.1.65. When I got the customer go to the drive shared PC and check the IP address it is 192.168.1.69.

    Restart the modem and the "client PC" has solved the problem.

  • Home network problem: 0 x 80070035: network path not found.

    I have problems with my home network; my laptop is unable to access the files on my HTPC

    More precisely:

    Laptops and PCs are running Windows 7 Ultimate. My laptop is connected to the home wireless network, the PC is connected through the LAN. Router is a Netgear DG834GV. Both computers have fixed IP addresses. They are part of the standard workgroup workgroup. There was formerly a group residential, put in place, which worked very well. We also have a Vista laptop that does all the unusual problems. Until a few days ago, the whole Setup worked perfectly. I could previously access/copy/distribute multimedia content, play on the PC via Zune music on my laptop and print from my laptop to the computer, but now I am unable to do one of these. The other laptop still works fine.
    From the network on the PC screen, I can see the files from the laptop and access.

    However, since the network on the computer screen laptop, I see the PC, but when I try to open it I get the error "Windows could not access \\MEDIACENTER. 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found. "I ping the PC with the IP address and name, and I can even remote to the computer desktop.

Click on "NETWORK CARDS", then click on 'VIEW' and select 'SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES'. In the expanded view, you will see a long list of numbered "MICROSOFT 6to4 ADAPTER". My Windows 7 Professional Office had 200 of them. Right click and select 'DELETE' on all but 1 of them. You can only do 1 at a time, so it takes some time. When you have only 1 left, restart the computer and enjoy being able to see the other computers on your network, including the RESIDENTIAL group files.

  • Could not initialize the TestStand engine. Path not found.

    Hi, so far I have installed and removed TestStand 3.5 3 times in a row, just to still get this message (see subject) when I try to start the sequence editor. I even uninstalled all the software of NOR I had on this laptop reinstall the whole... Nothing has worked. Now I wonder, is that what I'm doing wrong? What can I do to get TestStand running?

    Well well, on this message when I hit OK, another message

    The sequence editor does not start. Cannot create the TestStand engine.

    Hit OK on that message again just puts an end to the sequence editor leaving me with a white screen.

    Any ideas what is wrong?

    best regards and thanks in advance.,

    Ingo

    Ingo-

    Sorry for your frustration. Your idea to uninstall and reinstall should work normally. The second message is just the result of the first error, so we need to understand which path is not found, and we don't know why this happens. I tried to force my copy of TestStand 3.5 to fail like messing around with the installation and I couldn't find a way to cause the error "path not found". I had a lot of other more detailed errors, but I have been unable to reproduce your message.

    A few questions:

    (1) what operating system do you use?

    (2) you install to the default location under Program Files? You use a network somehow path?

    (3) you have permission to write the locations on your system?

    (4) what are you logged in as long as administrator during the installation, reboot and start the sequence editor.

    (5) have you messed with any of the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\TestStand\3.5 settings, where something is wrong manually?

    (6) added user under the TestStand directory components that could somehow load and cause a problem?

    If you have an installation on the system, you can quickly try to empty the directory Cfg under TestStand, so that it generates new copies of these files.
