Re: system drive change?

I will pull the plug on G sometime when Im adventurous
and see what happens.

Not a good move. It would make more sense to backup
and do a new install having sorted out the hardware.

What can be seen in Disk Management?

When you put in your new drive did you remove your
original disk and put in your new one where your old one
as or did you put it in the second slot as a slave?

Ok I slept a few hours and the sun is almost coming up so its back to
work at the kitchen table heh. Following links I uninstalled McAfee
and reinstalled it from my account with them and it hasnt BS on me yet
but the morning is young. Time will tell. I do see that it put the old
version of security center on here that I had before some bogus
upgrade they were foisting on us. It was a major PITA getting that
thing configured and I wont do it again although I had it running for
months without major problems. I use Zonealarm for the firewall and it
did say the newer security center doesnt like it but I did get it to
work anyway. Nevertheless the old one is back on here now and I think
it will stay. I still havent found a way to move the system drive
status to C from the old drive at G. I will pull the plug on G
sometime when Im adventurous and see what happens.

I had an older version of this somewhere and didnt know it till I made
shortcut for Autoruns. Anyway it said all this stuff is starting C
like it should. I went to McAfee and got their trouble shooter program
and I may have to uninstall and reinstall the thing tomorrow. Im not
gonna mess with it tonite. Its 9pm here and you should be in bed
across the ocean :) when the sun comes up I will worry about it some
more. Thanks for the replies mate.

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.

if link broken try

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.
