Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Found the Boot.ini and after that did a fixboot through the Recovery Console
but the problem remains the same. That is it will not boot if there is no XP
in the cd rom drive (irrespective of the priority boot)........... why
..why...thanks

Bios set to 1st boot as Atapi cd rom, then hdd and also try to set as hdd,

Here is the boot.ini details

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating system]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition"[/noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Seems strange when I do a search for BOOT.INI file (including hidden
files)- result nothing.
Thanks for your time.

How do you know this "when first boot is hdd"? Have you made changes in
the BIOS? The hard drive is normally second or third in the boot
sequence after the floppy and or the CD drive.

Try Start, Run, type msconfig and hit ENTER. Copy the details of what
appears in the boot.ini tab and post the information here.

What was the original OS? How is your Windows XP CD described on the
face of the CD?

The original OS is not win XP. The problem been resolved because of
the failure of the cd rom drive. After changing the cd rom drive, the
installation was able to complete and I was able to the WU/activate.
After that However, discovered that in order to boot up, the XP cd
must be inside the cd rom driver, otherwise it will
not boot up, even though the first boot is hd.

It will only boot up with the xp inside and not hitting any key when
asked. Why is that the xp cd must be inside even when first boot is
hdd? Any idea to resolve the issue is much appreciated as it driving
us nuts, thanks

Why are you trying a new clean installation of XP?

How is your Windows XP CD described on the face of theCD? Doesn't the
error message name the driver?

when I try to do a clean XP installation on my hdd, after accepting
the F8, somewhere along the line I get this error
"DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS". The hdd is
an old one but I reformat it before the installation. Any idea what
is wrong with it? Thanks
