I have been receiving an intermittent error at start-up for Windows XP. The error is as follows. "Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\drivers\fastfat.sys" If I just push reset it will reboot and go into windows fine. I have tried to repair the file but have had not luck. I just re-formatted my Hard drive last night, this time I used the NTFS format and on my first boot up I got the exact same error, only it referred to the NTFS.sys file. I haven't even put any other software on it yet. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated Thanks, Nathan
