Hi,
I'm struggeling with the same problem for one year and cannot find the solution.
When the system is running it is running fine but about 50% of all boots gives a
black screen with"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing
or corrupt: \windows\system32\drivers\"ntfs.sys"
I'm sure that the file NTFS.SYS is not missing nor corrupt...
Also a next reboot is succesful...
Memorytests and or disktests do not give any clue. The problem started after I ghosted
my disk image to a bigger harddisk (maxtor 6L300R0 300GB). I also tried to put the
image on an other 6L300R0 but NO LUCK.
Why are these boots so unpredictable? Looks like a timing issue in combiunation with
the disk...
Has someone seen this before and a found a solution???
