BSOD ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS

 

BSOD ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS

        - It all needs the Win XP OS CD and you have to be in Recovery Console. Listed are commands you have to type in after entering Recovery Console. Don't forget to hit ENTER every after command.

1) NTLDR is missing or corrupt

        Solution:

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd \

                3. map (to know the drive name where XP CD is)

                4. copy d:\i386\ntldr (D: can change depending on the CD drive letter you saw when you mapped.)

                5. exit

2. Continuous Restart

        Solution:

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd \

                3. map (to know the drive name where XP CD is)

                4. copy d:\i386\ntdetect.com (D: can change depending on the CD drive letter you saw when you mapped.)

                5. exit

3. Stop: C0000135 - kernel32.dll missing or corrupt

        Solution:

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd system32

                3. map

                4. expand d:\i386\kernel32.dl_ (D: can change depending on the CD drive letter you saw when you mapped.)

                5. exit

4. windows\system32\config missing or corrupt

        Solution:

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd \

                3. dir (Look for System Volume Information. If it's there, proceed to Step 5, if not, continue with Step 4)

                4. attrib -h -s "system volume information" (this will unhide the System Volume Information.)

                5. cd "system volume information"

                6. cd _resto~1

                7. dir (Look for the RP numbers and what date it corresponds to for restoring it back to a working date, i.e.RP158 - 08/25/2006)

                8. cd RP# (i.e. RP158)

                9. cd snapshot

                10. dir (Look for the presence of entries like _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\system and others)

                11. copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system

                12. exit

               

                ***Note: If you want to fully restore not only the system file, you can also do the SAM, SECURITY and SOFTWARE by typing:

                copy _registry_machine_sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

                copy _registry_machine_security c:\windows\system32\config\security

                copy _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software - (this can be useful if error has been caused by a software installed/changed)

5. hal.dll missing or corrupt

        Solution 1 (try first):

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. bootcfg /rebuild

                3. Press y

                4. ms home /fastdetect (name the OS)

                5. exit

        Solution 2 (if first one doesn't work):

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd system32 (to go to c:\windows\system32)

                3. map

                4. expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ (D: can change depending on the CD drive letter you saw when you mapped.)

                5. exit

6. boot.ini / could not read from the selected boot disk / check boot path

        Solution is the same with the hal.dll error's Solution 1.

7. black screen after the Windows XP splash screen

        Solution:

                1. ~Recovery Console

                2. cd \

                3. dir (Look for System Volume Information. If it's there, proceed to Step 5, if not, continue with Step 4)

                4. attrib -h -s "system volume information" (this will unhide the System Volume Information.)

                5. cd "system volume information"

                6. cd _resto~1

                7. dir (Look for the RP numbers and what date it corresponds to for restoring it back to a working date, i.e.RP158 - 08/25/2006)

                8. cd RP# (i.e. RP158)

                9. cd snapshot

                10. dir (Look for the presence of entries like _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software and others)

                11. copy _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software

                12. exit
