Hi everyone. I have a computer that when boots, displays something similar to: “Following file is missing or corrupt \system32\drivers\ntfs.sys”
Googling shows tons of similar issues and possible solutions. Here is what I have tried so far:
1. recovery console – copied ntfs.sys from xp disk to hard drive.
2. ran CHKDSK /R
3. ran system diagnostics and RAM tests. Passed.
4. removed different RAM chips and tried to boot again. / checked cables.
5. launched Windows Repair to do an in-place re-install of the OS.
None of these steps has resolved the issue. I thought for sure launching the Windows Repair to re-install all of the OS files would fix. But upon reboot after copying the files, the same error appears.
Anyone have any ideas? I am leaning to hardware failure. Here are some specs. Note the RAID setup.
Dell Dimension E510
Pentium D Processor
2 @ 2GB RAM sticks
RAID 1 Mirror (160GB SATA drives)
Thanks =]
