Re: NTFS.sys bsod

Are you sure you install the same speed of RAM?
Have you tried removing the RAM you installed to see if it would boot?

After making a number of changes to the system it is necessary to do a
repair install and reactivate.
This article will explain it.

Windows XP has a built in security feature to prevent software piracy called
WPA (Windows Product Activation) so you can not move it to a different
system and get it to boot without doing a repair install, this will only add
to your problems.

Hi all,

I am new to this group and wonder if there is anyone came across this
problem.

I basically have a machine , XP SP2 latest patch etc. Was using 256mb RAM
then upgraded to 2x 256 + 1x 512 to 1 GB .
After sticking the RAM in, the machine goes into rebooting and never able to
load windows.

I then remove the crashing HDD to a fresh system that already has Win XP SP2
| 2000 SP4 running.

Everytime I tried to boot that machine with the sick HDD as 2nd master , it
always reboot.
And then I put the sick HDD into an enclosure and when I connect it ,
somehow when windows traverse the contect, it Reboots again.

Tried using XP Repair procedure using the CD, no joy as when it is halfway
into the Repair it reboots.
Using Win2K recovery diskette , also no go as when the 4th disk is put in,
it crashes with random error.

I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to extract the data off that
HDD.

TIA
