Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: fatal crashes in Windows XP -atapi.sys Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 8:54 am Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (4310 messages posted) Well, I know you need a modified atapi.sys to run a hard disk larger than 137GB. If you have added a large HDD, this could be it. If that's not it, then you could run the sfc /scannow command to have XP's system file checker look at all the important system files and make sure they are not corrupted.

My HD is 111GB I haven't added and hardware to the box. when I attempt sfc /scannow WINDOWS FILE PROTECTION wants me to load my SP-1 CD. I only have the recovery CD that came with the box. Is this what it wants? I downloaded an update to XP in October which is not on a CD. Is this an issue?

You'll want to read this MS TechNet article: Stop 0x0000007A or KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR The article says that it's not uncommon for the problem to be caused by faulty memory or by problems in the mass storage controller subsystem, which makes sense since atatpi.sys (a mass storage controller system file) is noted.

I guess my next step is to find some diag software for memory and I/O controllers. Thanks again.

The most recent piece of software I installed is GoToMyPC. I also kept the computer on for several days at a time. Could this be part of the problem? I used to get this message when I had a faulty RAM memory chip in my computer, I took it out and replaced it with new RAM and haven't had the problem for about a year, until now. Could it be that the amount of memory allocated to my page file is too small? Thanks for any help I can get with this.

Probable causes are either memory incompatability or not seated properly (if you have not added any additional memory to the system then it should not be compatability), HDD lead loose or HDD damaged, or a corrupt cache file. If you are compitant with the inside of your PC and are aware of the anti static precautions that need to be taken before you touch any electrical component inside your PC then you can check to make sure the cables to the HDD are seated correctly and make sure your memory is correctly seated.

I tried the sfc /scannow but it wants a windows CD. Problem is the slimline sony dvd-rom doesn't read cd's or dvd's anymore. I swapped both 512mb sticks of pc2-3200 ram with a different brand of pc2-4200 ram, and still the problem persists. With two new sticks of ram, I don't see it possibly being a memory problem. I have a 1gb usb stick, can I copy the XP CD to it on my good computer and use that? I'll give it a shot. I did a chkdsk and also a defrag, no difference. I combed through the RunOnce, and msconfig startup items, an also checked winlogin\notify to make sure no spyware/trojans/viruses were loading that way. I removed some crappy toolbars with Hijack this, and Norton AV Gaming Edition does not detect any viruses. Another thing, it's just genuinely slow for a P4 3 GHz and 1 GB of ram. It has a Maxtor 160GB SATA hard drive in it with 112 GB of free space. Windows XP Service Pack 3 and all Windows updates except for IE8. The latest Dell Bios version A08 is installed.
