Solve : |windows\system32\config\system error on xp home? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Patio, No she (I) does not have any discs associated with the machine. She has moved 4 times since the purchase and any she did have are long gone. However i have downloaded the complete manual on her computer so hopefully the description of the MB will be there. I have not read the full manual yet but i have looked at the part dealing with the "RC">This is the part that worries me "Restoring Your Operating System<br/>You can restore your operating system in the following ways:<br/>• Microsoft Windows XP System Restore returns your computer to an earlier operating state<br/>without affecting data files.<br/>• Dell PC Restore by Symantec restores your hard drive to the operating state it was in when<br/>you purchased the computer. Dell PC Restore permanently deletes all data on the hard drive<br/>and all files and applications installed since new will be lost"<br/>I do realize we are not using that RC but as i get deeper into my research it appears that DELL is less user friendly to a recovery than other computers.<br/>It has occurred to me as a question. Could this be caused by an error by an incorrect date emanating from the CMOS battery?<br/>Now the $64,000 question what do you think of this to solve the SATA drivers/F6 problem ?<br/><a href="http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=122">http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=122</a><br/>I got to this via a search for the SATA drivers for xp. I am concerned by the reference to "overclocking". However the impression i get is that it will present other choices when it is accessed in the problematic computer. I am feeling my feet coming off the bottom of the pool as i delve into deeper water. truenorth<br/>P.S. Or what about this it DOES seem very specific to the dell dimension 8400 ?<br/><a href="http://www.burchwords.com/archives/82">http://www.burchwords.com/archives/82</a><br/>As i stated earlier travel to the MBoard manuf. site for the SATA drivers...<br/>They will work the best...From my research the MB is a CH776.Going to the Dell Support site and inputting that information for the Dell Dimension 8400 results in what i believe are a choice between 2 SATA drivers . Here is the web link for them <br/><a href="https://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&catid=41&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_8400&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en&TabIndex=&scanSupported=False&scanConsent=False">http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&catid=41&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_8400&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en&TabIndex=&scanSupported=False&scanConsent=False</a><br/>Could someone please tell me which one is the one i need. truenorthUse the 1st one listed...but DLoad them both just in case...<br/>The 1st one seems to match the MBoard revision # more closely though...<br/>Unfortunately when it comes to manuf. drivers sometimes it can be a hit or miss situation....be thankful there weren't 7 of them.Patio, Wilco. An interesting anomaly occurred with your last reply. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/normally-571448" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NORMALLY">NORMALLY</a> go to "replies to your posts" to ascertain if any new input has happened. Your post did not occur there in this one instance.It was only by going to the specific forum and scrolling to the specific post that i observed an new post had occurred. Never have had that happen before. Please stay tuned for result of new efforts. truenorthOK I'm back. !st the good news= the dell dimension computer has been fully recovered and is fully operational.<br/>Now how it was done. I must state at this point a great deal of experimentation was done (some perhaps a little unorthodox). I will try to tell what i think was relevant to the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/success-246796" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SUCCESS">SUCCESS</a>.<br/>1.I downloaded the 1st of the Dell MB SATA drivers as per my link in the earlier thread (the one patio advised to try 1st). I put it on a cd-rw disc.<br/>2. I inserted and ran the "XP home iso" that Allan had me create.<br/>3.When the option to press F6 for 3rd party drivers came up i selected F6. <br/>4.This created an insurmountable problem within the ISO program in that the only option EVER <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/available-888895" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AVAILABLE">AVAILABLE</a> was to insert a floppy into drive "A" (which as stated is unavailable on that computer). There NEVER was an option to "point" it anywhere else. Thought i was sxxxxxd.<br/>5.Remembered from an earlier issue with one of my own computers (Sony Vaio desktop xp pro) that was caused by what turned out to be an incompatibility between that computer and the Paragon Backup <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/software-25575" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOFTWARE">SOFTWARE</a> (determined by their <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tech-664299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TECH">TECH</a> support) that they had me create 2 discs.<br/>a) Paragon Backup and recovery<br/>b)Paragon WinPer CD<br/>6.I first tried the B/U & Recovery--no help<br/>7.Then i tried the WinPer CD. It lead me to a point (experimented with many avenues ) where i was able to direct a "driver" installation from a chosen existing optical drive.<br/>8. Inserted the Dell SATA driver disc. Stated successfull install.<br/>9.Restarted the computer with all discs removed from drives.<br/>10. Successfully booted into Xp Home.<br/>11.Called daughter for user password.<br/>12.Full access.<br/> I want to acknowledge and again express my thanks to both Allan and Patio without whom i believe i would not have been able to achieve these results. Thanks guys,truenorthThis is indeed excellent news ! !<br/><br/>Congratulations on both your success and determination to work a solution...<br/><br/>Well Done I say....<br/><br/></p></body></html> | |
