Hey all, thanks for all the ideas, and I went through a bunch of them, finally gave
up, and ran the system repair that comes up when doing a system install.
That worked, and I'm back into the system with no loss of data.
However, I would hazard a guess that the problem is being caused by a piece of crummy
software that tries to load a USB device during system start up. Whether this corrupts
the sys file that loads after mup.sys I can't say, however, I do note that I had
significant problems with this system in regards to getting a USB 2 Maxtor external
HDD to work correctly. In fact, the system tried to boot to the drive, even though
it most certainly was not listed as part of the initial boot order in the bios.
Also, XP, during the initial system load prior to this problem took a stop error.
I generally build systems with an Adaptec IDE RAID card running RAID 1. It turns
out there is a known issue with XP and this card, and the way to fix it is to place
the card in another pci slot.
This is the third system I've built using the MSI K7N2 board with an AMD XP processor.
The two prior ran just fine, no problems. Then this one came along.
Anyway, the system is as follows:
AMD XP processor
MSI K7N2 MB
512 MB RAM
2 WD 40 GB HDD
Adaptec ATA 1200
The only common factor I'm seeing in all of this, is that it seems to be skewed towards
AMD processors. However, it appears we have a few Pentium systems having the same
problem, so where do we find the common denominator?
