NC-10 Corruption

[TheBatMan]

Hey all.

Whilst working on my netbook last night, wordpad crashed, then the computer shut itself down. Every time I have tried to reboot it fails. I can’t even launch any of the safe modes. I wasn’t even online at the time.

All I keep getting is this;

File: windowssystem32driverswdf01000.sys
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt

I am not a genius when it comes to computers so any help you guys could offer would be much appreciated.

Thanks all for your time.

Welcome to the forum TheBatMan,

Have you tried the recovery options available if you F4 at bootup? You have to be quick on the F4 key.

Hey tonytb,

Yes mate, I’ve tried F4 and the other boot set up options. It still refuses to load up. I’m totally stumped.

You need to use the recovery CD, should be able to replace those files.

Hi Batman,

You need to do a repair install of Windows to repair/restore the missing system drivers, on a netbook without DVD support the easiest way to do this is via a USB key, try the following:http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Install+Windows+from+USB+key

The Microsoft technet site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd535816.aspx) has a guide on how to set up a USB key with Windows Setup files, and how to install Windows using this method, follow the guide only select “repair” instead of “Install Now” at the appropriate time, and that should remedy your problems..

Hi Jeepers,

Thanks for the welcome.

Was just browsing the forum, looking for a way to find any hidden features of the 11CA BIOS for the NC10, and saw this thread and thought Icould offer some help.

I installed Win 7 Ultimate onto my NC10 using the USB method, and thought it may be of some help to TheBatman…

Unfortunately I’ve come to the conclusion that the original Intel Menu in the BIOS is no longer available in the later BIOS versions, but I’ve been having some fun brwosing the forum and reading up on some of the mods that ppl have done, interested in the Broadcom HD card mod, been reading a very good thread on that most of the morning…29 pages long, took me all morning to read and digest it all…. may give it a try at some time.

Though my next project is to build a NAS for my home network using some scrap components I have lying around from recent PC builds and upgrades. Not NC10 related thugh, but budget only allows 1 project at a time..LOL..!!

Thanks again for the welcome, I intend reading some more of the fantastic contributions made to the forum.
