Toshiba SP6000 boot problems
I have just aquired a SP6000 which had a faulty screen at first. After
re-installing Windows XP Pro it worked fine all day but after switching off
for the night it developed a fault.
Now when switching on it gives the following report, "File ntkrnlmp.exe
could not be loaded, the error code is 7 (sometimes the code is 14 or 4).
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.
Sometimes on trying to boot I get a message that reads, Windows cannot start
because the following file is missing or corrupt, "System32\Drivers\PCI.SYS
. You can attempt to repair this file by starting window set-up using the
original setup CD-ROM.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
Using the windows XP disc and slecting boot from CD, the system starts to
run and then fails with the following message, Windows could not start
because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as "load
needed DLLs for Kernal" Please contact your support person to report this
problem.
On other occasions it will boot up perfectly and on others I get a report
about some media failed test, check cable, and it will then go onto boot OK.
Any help in pin pointing the problem would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks, Graham
