Re: Blue Screen of Death

Try UCBD4Win.exe (Google search to find the web site). Worked for me and I
did not lose any data.

Thanks for that I'll get a Linux live disc off a work mate and I'll format my
HDD as NTFS. I was think of doing a Repair Install, but what I've read having
a OEM copy of win XP will mean I'll loose most or all of my data.

Mount your disc in another NT type computer (or use a Bart PE or Linux
live disc) and salvage your files. Then format that mess that you have
and reinstall Windows. Format the disc NTFS right from the begining,
don't use FAT32 & convert.exe.

I'm aware of that, but there is no fix for this stop error in win XP, so how
do I fix it without loosing my data?

That article you refer to applies to Windows 2000 only. Do not do that
on a Windows XP computer.

First problem was “Missing or corrupt.....hal.dll”, fixed with help from you
guys & gals, thanks. Second problem “Missing or corrupt.....ntfs.sys”, as
above.

Now windows will "start" to start (you know what I mean :) ) and I get the
infamous Blue screen, the error is: STOP 0x00000071 {0x0000000, 0x00000000,
0x0000000, 0x00000000} SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.

I have tried several times to start windows in Safe Mode with no luck, a
whole lot of commands (or something to that effect) come up on the screen
(which I’m assuming is normal) it stops on “system32/drivers/agp.440.sys”
then after a while the blue screen comes up, does that mean anything or is it
just normal for Safe Mode? Should other files come up?

I’m using XP Home, SP2, OEM (Dell) CD.

I'm looking at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887359/en-us

Question 1: Do I change “Winnt” to “windows” and does “$ntuninstallq811493$”
have a different name in XP Home? Would trying $xpuninstallq811493$ damage my
computer?

Question 2: Would copying the ntoskrnl from my CD be a good idea?

“If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.”

Question 3: Could this be fixed by accessing my current BIOs or up-dating
them? Can that be done through the Recovery Console?

Question 4: Is there any other possible changes that may need to be made to
the procedure in article 887359 to get it to work with XP, any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated, I’ll do anything to get my data back, well
almost.

When windows starts to load the moving light was blue before this happen,
but it's now lime-green (top right windows icon colour). I did notice back
when SP2 came out and I downloaded & installed it that the moving light went
from red or may yellow to blue.

Question: Could a possible solution be to install the Service pack(s) again,
is that possible through the Recovery Console?
