Re: system drive change?

You might use Autoruns to see where McAfee try to start from.

You will need to consider careful how to remove it. It depends
entirely where the start up is to be removed.

Autoruns is a programme, which list everything starting and
where it starts from.Try downloading and installing:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html

You can save the output of the Everything tab to a txt file.
Place the cursor on any item in the list and it gives a save
as option on the File drop down. Post a copy of suspect
entries giving details of the start location.

Yes I found out that its some mcafee thing and have been trying to
muddle through their tech support crap to rectify it. Time will tell.
Why did it wait till this afternoon to start this stuff when it had
been running fine for days after I installed the new drive? Virus scan
comes up with nothing. I need to sit and hit F8 when I turn it on and
tell it to start in the last known good setting or something and when
it starts if graciously recoginizes the new drive and tells me so. :)
I will keep hacking away till I fix it or get mad and rip the new
drive back out.

naiav5x.sys -this file ,which seems to be the cause of the
problem would be appear to relate to a McAfee product.
What McAfee product was or is installed? How was it
removed, if it was?

it just started this stuff while ago and thats why I found the
system drive info. I took a pic of one of the blue screens but dont
know if I can attach a cropped shot here or not. As for reinstalling
the whole works it would be easier to buy a new computer; odd that
the thing ran fine for 7 hours till while ago. as for the drive
letters the old drive is G and the new drive is C and thats where
its booting from according to everything I can findl I suppose I
could yank the power to G(the old drive) and make sure heh heh

bet it wont accept an attachment but it gives a bunch of numbers and
below it says naiav5x.sys address B7D30760, datestamp 42ae0eb6
the stop numbers are always different it seems

You need to sort out the BSOD first.

You are unlikely to be able to be able to change the drive
lettering for the system drive / partition from G. To try to do
so destroys all your registry links. The only way to change
the situation is do a clean install of Windows XP. You have
to back up every data file, reinstall every programme and
locate the software disks and latest drivers for every item
of hardware. Best to leave your system drive as G.

Can you provide a copy of the Stop Error Report?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should
help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly.
Keep pressing the F8 key during StartUp and select option
- Disable automatic restart on system failure.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until
you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

How do I change what System Restore sees as the system drive? I
put in
a bigger drive last week but today am getting BSOD today and
system
restore wont work. For some reason it sees the old drive which is
G:
now as still the system drive and not the C; drive that everything
is
booting from. I am running safe mode just to keep things going
right
now.
