Fix Invalid System Disk Error

You may also receive this error message when you start your computer by using a Windows Startup disk, or you may receive the following error message:

This version of Windows does not run on DOS 7.0 or earlier.

This issue can be caused by any of the following conditions:

* Your computer may be infected with a boot-sector virus such as the AntiCMOS.A virus.
* Your computer is running an anti-virus program.
* Your computer is using hard disk management software (such as Disk Manager, EZ-Drive, or DrivePro) for hard disk geometry translation. These tools provide support for large hard disks (more than 1024 cylinders) when your computer's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) does not support large hard disks.
* Windows Setup was unable to copy the system files to the hard disk.
* Security software has disabled access to drive C.

To fix this issue use one of the following

Computer Is Infected with a Virus
Use an anti-virus program to detect and remove the virus, and then reinstall Windows. Boot-sector viruses infect computers by copying information either to the boot sector on a floppy disk or the partition table on a hard disk. During startup, the virus is loaded into memory. Once in memory, the virus typically infects any non-infected disks that your computer is connected to.

Computer Is Running Anti-Virus Software
Start your computer by using the Windows Startup disk you created during Windows Setup, and then use the sys command from the Windows Startup disk to restore the system files to the hard disk.

Some computers use built-in anti-virus software that must be disabled in the computer's BIOS. For information about how to change settings in the BIOS, view the computer's documentation or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

Computer Is Using Disk Management Software
In some cases, Windows may not properly detect that you are using disk management software and may overwrite the master boot record (MBR) information. Refer to the documentation for the disk management software you are using for information about restoring the MBR.

Also, check the Setuplog.txt file for the following statement:

FSLog: BIOS Heads=:64:, BootPart Heads=:64:
The preceding number (64 in this example) may vary from computer to computer. If these two numbers are different, replace the system files on your hard disk according to the instructions in the following "Reinstall the Windows System Files" section. For additional information about how to determine if your computer is using a drive overlay program

Reinstall the Windows System Files
WARNING: If you are using Disk Manager or any other disk drive overlay program on a hard disk, make sure that the overlay driver is loaded before you use the sys command on that hard disk. If the overlay driver is not loaded and you use the sys command on the hard disk, the drive may not be recognized as being partitioned by the disk drive overlay program and you could experience loss of data or an inability to boot from the drive.

Although you can use the sys command with Ontrack Disk Manager and later versions of MicroHouse EZ-Drive (or EZ-Max) after the overlay driver is loaded, earlier versions such as EZ-Drive 2.01s require that operating system files be copied to the overlay installation disk and installed by the overlay utility. In such cases, the overlay may be damaged if you use the sys command on the hard disk.

1. Start your computer by using the Windows 95 or Windows 98 Startup disk.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:

c:
cd\windows\command
attrib c:\msdos.sys -s -h -r
copy c:\msdos.sys c:\msdos.xxx
a:
sys c:
attrib c:\msdos.sys -s -h -r
del c:\msdos.sys
copy c:\msdos.xxx c:\msdos.sys
attrib c:\msdos.sys +s +h +r
3. Remove the Windows Startup disk, and then restart the computer.

Security Software Enabled
Some third-party programs prevent (lock) access to hard disks in your computer. If this software is installed, contact the manufacturer about how to remove this software and safely restart Windows 98 Setup. For additional information about Windows Setup and troubleshooting

How to recover from a corrupted registry

How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting.Registry is damaged or corrupt which prevents Windows to boot to desktop. you find a error massage

Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

This post describes how to recover a Windows XP system that does not start because of corruption in the registry. This procedure does not guarantee full recovery of the system to a previous state; however, you should be able to recover data when you use this procedure.

Warning Do not use the procedure that is described in this post if your computer has an OEM-installed operating system. The system hive on OEM installations creates passwords and user accounts that did not exist previously. If you use the procedure that is described in this post, you may not be able to log back into the recovery console to restore the original registry hives.

Note Make sure to replace all five of the registry hives. If you only replace a single hive or two, this can cause potential issues because software and hardware may have settings in multiple locations in the registry.

Follow the steps for system which were installed by Windows xp disk.

2. At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:

cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren software software.old
ren SAM SAM.old
ren security security.old
ren default default.old
cd \
cd windows\repair
copy system C:\windows\system32\config\system
copy software C:\windows\system32\config\software
copy sam C:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy security C:\windows\system32\config\security
copy default C:\windows\system32\config\default

Note The repair directory contains a copy of the registry from the first time the system successfully booted after Windows was installed, or from the last time that the customer performed a full system state backup. Any changes that the customer made to the computer since the repair copy of the registry was created are lost. Also note that this procedure resets your password to the password that was used when you first installed Windows XP or that was used the last time that you backed up System State. If the customer cannot remember this password, you may have to use a more current backup of the registry from the System Restore folder (%systemdrive%\System Volume Information\_restore xxxxx \RP xx\snapshot) instead of from the Repair folder.

How to Fix Temporary folder issues

When your computer does not have sufficient disk space for temporary files, you may notice unpredictable behavior in Access 2003. You must remove the old temporary files on your system periodically. After you remove the old temporary files, make sure that there is at least 8 megabytes (MB) to 10 MB of free space on your disk. Make sure that the free space is available to your temporary (Temp) folder.

You must determine the location of your Temp folder. You must verify the validity of your TMP environment variables and your TEMP environment variables. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click System.
3. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

Check whether the User Variables for list contains valid settings for the TMP environment variable and for the TEMP environment variable.

The following example shows valid settings:
TEMP = C:\TEMP
TMP = C:\TEMP

3. If the TMP environment variable and the TEMP environment variable are not defined, you must create valid environment variables. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In the Environment Variables dialog box, click New under the User variables for section.
2. In the New User Variable dialog box, type TEMP in the Variable Name box.
3. In the Variable Value box, type C:\Temp (or any other valid path and valid folder name).
4. Click OK to add these values to the User Variables for list.
5. Repeat step a through step c to create the TMP environment variable.
4. Click OK.
5. Click OK.
6. Exit Control Panel.
7. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
8. Locate the folder that is specified in the TMP environment variable and in the TEMP environment variable.

Note A TEMP environment variable setting that is not valid may have serious effects on Access 2003. Therefore, if you notice that the folder that is specified in the environment variable setting does not exist, you must either open Windows Explorer and then create a new temp folder in the specified location, or you must repeat step 1 through step 3 to update the environment variables to a valid location.

9. Verify that the drive that contains the TEMP folder has sufficient free disk space.

Note Make sure that the free disk space that is available on the drive where the TEMP folder is located is at least two times the size of the largest database that you may potentially open on your computer.

For example, if your largest Access database file is 7 MB, make sure that the drive where the TEMP folder resides has at least 14 MB of free disk space.

10. Verify that the TEMP folder is empty.

If files exist in the TEMP folder, you can delete the .tmp files that are currently not in use. The .tmp files typically have a modified date that is earlier than the current session of Windows.

Note Microsoft recommends that you exit all Windows programs before you delete the .tmp files.
