asus motherboard install
I recently purchased an asus motherboard when I install this board along with
my new ge-force mx4000 video card I get the error message system32\drivers\ntfs.sys missing or not found. Then when I try to repair or re-install window xp home and while setup is loading files I get the error message file setupdd.sys could not load error code 4. So I take the board out and re-install the old board and it boots just fine that is how I am typing this message now. My first question. Is it possible that I need to install the video card drivers before installing the new board and second if not what else could be the problem? I am running an asus a7n8x-e deluxe board a wd 180gb hard drive and a geforce mx4000 video card. Help please Thanks |

There seems to be different causes for this error, beyond those described on the MS site. These a 1. multiple RAM modules. Try Repair install using a single RAM module. 2. caching options in the BIOS. Turn OFF all BIOS and Video caching in the BIOS (DO NOT turn off CPU cache, that would make the computer very very slow) 3. If it still does not work, set "Fail safe BIOS default" in the BIOS of your new motherboard and try repair install. 4. Also try disabling onboard LAN/sound/usb(every hardware not necessary for Windows XP setup) in the BIOS. If all fails, take a backup of your system partition, format and clean install Windows XP. Let us know, whether it works out. "funnzenk" wrote in message ...

asus motherboard install
Hello Try this remove all drivers and reboot your pc and don't install any drivers, let XP choose a defauklt driver, then go to www.nvidia.com and downlaod the drivers from thier website, am not sure if oyu have done this or not but you have not mentioned it at all Al funnzenk wrote: I recently purchased an asus motherboard when I install this board along with my new ge-force mx4000 video card I get the error message system32\drivers\ntfs.sys missing or not found.

Thanks Kerry but all that has been done I need help beyond these simple things. Try to do a repair install with just the basic components hooked up. i.e. one hard drive, one CDROM drive, 1 stick of RAM (at least 128MB), most basic video card you have available (PCI if possible). Remove all PCI and AGP cards except video card. Disconnect all external devices, USB, printer, card reader, etc. Check all jumper settings on the hard drive and CDROM. Some motherboards will work if drives are set as cable select, some won't. Set all settings in BIOS as per Abhilash's post. If it still won't do a repair install you may have to do a clean install. Hope this helps. Let us know how you make out. Kerry |

You can clean install, but also, you can do a repair first as to restore your
system files. Install the drivers for the agp and chipset and then for the video card.

asus motherboard install
Hi:
My understanding is that if you changed certain major hardware, Win XP would require you to re-install and re-activate and certainly it sounds like in your case since - (a) You changed both M/B and VGA card which should be a major change (It happened to me once simply because one M/B), and (b) If you using the old board, everything seems ok - based on what you said. You could just use repair installation which was what I did and I forgot if re-activation is needed. PS: According to some technical papers which I forgot where did I read it but including those from MS, this reinstallation is needed for the "optimal" performance since Windows XP has registered the original hardware configuration during initial installation. Others said it is just for preventing pirate copy and all others are BS, which I believe the later one. Good luck. "funnzenk" ...
