ARC

[Silver]

I have an old hard drive and when I try to format it
there is an error that reads "windows could not start
because of the following ARC firmware boot configuratiion
problem: did not properly generate ARC name for HAL and
system paths, check for ARC configuration optioons"

Thanks

It sounds like you have two conflicting primary active partitions.
Have you ensured that the drive is jumpered properly for the specific
connection configuration you're using? Does the BIOS recognize the
drive properly?

Thanks: Milt, Mike and Bruce, I have a stupid question is
Windows NT same as Windows XP, because that article
refers to Windows NT only, and after that if that article
applies, what do I do if I can't start the computer.
