@Neana, sadly they probably just blamed the problem on faulty memory so they could up-sell you more, when all that was needed was the reinstall, if that, even.

My PC just developed this problem after the missus did some fragmentation to speed up the computer. The problem is that pressing ctrl+alt+del is not being responsive. At first I thought it was the keyboard but this is not the case. The advice above is assuming I will go past this stage. Any help please?

Hi all,
Just to let you know my problem is now solved. I took the laptop to the local computer repair shop and they tested the memory – it turned out that one of my sticks of RAM was faulty so they removed it and did a clean install of Windows XP. It now works fine.

Neana,
You’re asking for trouble if you’re skipping files during the Windows install process.

I’d suggest cleaning your CD and try reformattng and installing again. If the same thing happens, try a new CD or try your existing CD in another PC.

Hi, I have a Hi Grade C2000 laptop running Windows XP SP3 – I originally had the laptop bought for me under the Disabled Students’ Allowance back in 2004 here in the UK. It saw me all through University, but was later replaced – I kept it as a spare/back-up machine and didn’t use it for several years – it got some ad-hoc use when mine went in for repair but that’s about it. I just got it out a few days ago to bring it back into use for a friend whose Netbook is going in for repair and discovered this problem.

When I first tested it, there were lots of errors coming up, blue screens of death requiring system reboots and all sorts, so I considered it needed a recovery. I searched for my Knoppix disk which had my original back-ups on there and couldn’t find it, so found a Windows XP Pro disk and tried that. I ran a full format, as there was nothing important on the laptop. The format completed successfully.

After formatting, my XP disk went on to try and copy files, getting to around 36-44% before stopping and saying that a file could not be copied or was not copied correctly. Some of these files (according to various Internet sources) were skippable so I did – they were non-system software apparently. After multiple failed attempts with the same result but a different selection of files errored and a combination of no re-format, quick re-format and full re-format options being used, I started to get the error message we’re all talking about – “NTLDR is missing. Press ctrl + alt + del to restart”. So I did – and it did it again.

It didn’t matter whether I had the CD in or not – the same message still came up. I was (until a few hours ago) able to get to the XP set-up stage and start the files copying etc. but suddenly it’s started not getting that far – I now can’t boot from CD-ROM or USB because the NTLDR message comes up too quickly. I always, throughout all this, made sure CD-ROM was top priority in the boot order (or USB when trying that).

The only thing I’m sure of is that it’s not the exact CD – I’ve got one more and that does the same – and it’s not the CD-ROM drive – a Vinux (Linux for the visually impaired) disk worked but didn’t require loading onto the hard drive.

After much Googling around I’ve found you guys – I don’t want to be dramatic but it looks likely that you’re my last best hope before the skip! Here’s hoping you can help!

Cheers,

Neana

DESCONECTEN el cable de red, este causa conflicto y no permite al CD arrancar

UNPLUG the net cable, it causes a conflict that doesn`t allow the CD to Boot
