HP m7000 mup.sys problem...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Am working on old HP m7000 which was hanging at mup.sys whilst booting up in
Safe mode,
XP Media Centre,

I suspect that mup.sys was damaged due to a failing sector/s on hardisk -
mup.sys (or at least parts of it), was stored approx 5.5mb's in from front
end of 250gb hd.
Spinrite 6 repaired it sufficiently to get the thing booting but, left a
splattering of unrecoverable locations in one sector. i.e. one red "U"

Can anyone tell me why mup.sys is on this machine - (i.e. it's not present
on my XP Home ed. machine), and is it anything to do with the Novell netware
server icon "CSNW" in m7000's Control Panel ?
Can I e.g. Recovery Console - "disable Mup.sys" or is this file required
for this machine?

I can't overwrite the possibly damaged file with the original mup.sys from
Windows media centre CD until Monday, (owners are away until Monday),
....same old story - PC delivered to me with no disks !

Am going to, hopefully Ghost 14.0 "copy" C:\ and D:\ recovery partition
drive while it's still alive !
....is it possible to restore just mup.sys form HP.s recovery partiton ?

Does this machine need the "Multiple UNC Provider driver" ? ...perphaps to
do with HP software updates ?

regards, Richard
