Repair problem on Netbook with SATA HDD
My Netbook (Toshiba NB100) with Windows XP Home started up this morning
with an error: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \Windows\system32\config\system Boot from install CD and select R to repair" My netbook has a SATA HDD so when I boot from the XP CD I have to supply the SATA driver from an external floppy. I did this and then got THIS error! File iaStor.sys caused an unexpected error (43538) at the line 2113 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c How do I now proceed? |

And no retail versions of XP had any SATA support built in AFAIK. Now as for OEM versions, that is totally different. I believe those generic OEM versions follows the retail versions as far as SATA support goes. But branded OEM versions were completely a different thing. Some SP2 did and probably most SP3 did support SATA out of the box. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP3 |

I'm a computer refurbisher and have done hundreds upon hundreds of installs and never had a problem with getting SATA recognized. I'd make an sp3 slipstreamed CD.... |

It has SATA support if your BIOS is set to IDE Mode, but I'm not aware that a clean install has drivers if the BIOS is set to AHCI mode. Have you clean-installed XP on a system with the SATA options in the BIOS set to AHCI, without having to add drivers via F6? -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ |

That is what KenW cleared up for me two days ago. I personally like to see how a machine works first with SP2 myself. As I have noticed that my SP3 machines scroll web pages jerkier and breaks OE6 compacting. As it often crashes with file in use error when it gets to folders.dbx. The temporary fix is to switch OE6 for offline, close OE and then reopen and then compact. That seems to always work that way. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP3 |
