Kris Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Also if anyone has any idea what is causing it, that would be cool too. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinh Posted December 25, 2001 Author Share Posted December 25, 2001 ok the problem happen again but this time no need to reformat, i had system backup on another partition, so i just boot to dos and done a copy of system. And it works all fine now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 First of all - Sorry for digging up an old(ish) post. But, Vinh, I have managed to solve my problem. It was being caused by my SCSI Card for my CDRW... removed the SCSI card and it boots first time every time. BTW, it wasn't actually corrupting anything as far as I can tell... so we've both probably done needless reinstalls. :disappoin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SniperWulf Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I seem to get that problem whenever I try to overclock my processor or increase my Bus Speed. But when I turn it back to normal it boots up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 c:WINDOWSsystem32configsystem is a registry hive along with default, SAM, SECURITY, software, userdiff if your "system" gets corrupted your as good as ****ed. unless xp is able to restart it from backed up copy.

freeza Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i deleted everything i could from the system32 folder w/o screwing up my system i back up with ghost 2002 regularly so there really isnt a need to have all that crap there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly... it doesn't actually get corrupted... for some reason, windows XP reports it as corrupted when my SCSI card is installed... take out the card and it's perfect again.
