Re: ntfs.sys missing or corrupt

This may be due to a  faulty RAM.So check that.

Boot into recovery console, and at the c:\windows prompt type:

cd system32
cd drivers
ren ntfs.sys ntfs.old
If the ntfs.sys file is there and corrupt it will rename it. If it is not there then it was missing.

At the prompt type:
copy e:\i386\ntfs.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys

hi everyone,
when i boot up i get an error message that
c:\windows\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys is missing or corrupted.  it suggests
that i run repair console from cd to repair.
after searching the internet i have tried allsolutions suggested.. to no
avail.
i renamed the file from .sys to .old  but the file is not there .  i tried
to copy it from the indtall cd but got the message "file could not be
copied".
Tried to copy the file from an other computer to a floppy but that didn't
work (couldn't read the floppy - problem with the file?)
so, any other suggestions?  (i removed the RAM and air blew it and the
interior of the computer...... ) what now??

thanks!!
