I get a blue screen when trying to reload windows. The following messages apears:

Ntfs.sys - address f8172781 base at f8123000, datestamp 41107eea


I cannot re-load windows or get past the blue screen.

This usually happens when your default "bios settings" have been tamperd with.

haha yay.. I got the solution! Why? Because I delt with this same error umm.. 4 days ago? Lol..

1st: Start up your PC.. soon as the light turns on

press the " F2 " key numerous times until u get into your actuall system settings..

2nd. Go to "bios settings" and change them back to "factory default" and click "esc"=escape" then save and exit.

and walaa u shoud be working.. if u still need help or can't quite figure it out.. let me know in a message..

hope that helped..

Thanks But the drive is faulty. Once I disconnected the master drive the problem went away. The drive has crashed and is holding the suipply voltage down. The system cannot boot as it cannot see the hard drive. I have loaded the OS to a second drive and tried to read the original drive without success.

I find it rather harsh that you disagree with me.. and not post an answer to this guys question for it seems that you are not in a position to judge me nor rate my answer.. if you have something to say say it.. don't judge my answer.

And yes that's true... reseting factory defaults can sometimes cause other errors.. but errors that can easily be resolved.. and you keayrs

U should contact the dang customer support for windows xp or th manafacture of your pc's company..

That might of helped in the first place. To avoid wasting useless space on a message board

"bye"! @!

I didn't offer a solution because, as I understood it, the OP had figured out the problem and resolved it. So there was no need to offer a solution. Even if I didn't have a solution for the OP, that doesn't mean I don't know when an incorrect solution was offered.

One of the purposes of the comments feature is to correct mistaken advice right in the note where it was posted. That's why I used the feature. I said what I needed to. I can and will judge an answer when its factually incorrect, as yours was.

And your response to the OP about not wasting space was totally uncalled for.
