Slipstreamed Nvidia Raid with Xp/sp2 already installed.

[Cyntek]

Okay, well I have successfully slipstreamed nLite and applied nvraid (6.86), but when I installed windows xp sp3 (refresh) rc2, the install has finished successfully, but the computer will now do endless reboots. How can i fix it, and or remove sp3. Also too, after the initial completed slipstream, windows started crashing periodically im not sure if its an application causing it to crash every so often but, there is no log of it, if there is such a log then please point to the right direction to locate it.

Thanks

Have you already tried to boot in safe mode (F8)?

Have you already tried to boot in safe mode (F8)?

Yes, I have tried " Safe Mode" and " Last known Configuration" and still get the reboots.

At first step we need security regarding the reason for your reboots.

So hit F8 again while booting and choose the option "no reboot at system failure". Then you will see the error message.

I am afraid, that you will have to do a clean reinstall, because it seems, that the SP3 installation routine has replaced your needed and already correctly installed NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller by the wrong MS Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. Exactly this is the reason for endless reboots of nForce sataRaid systems while installing Windows Operating systems.

I kinda figured that it might have switched to the MS Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. But, I ran the "F8" and selected the " No Reboot At System Failure " and I recieved the BSOD.

Stop: c0000139 { Entry Point Not Found} The procedure entry point GdiGetBitmapBitssize could not be located in the dynamic link library Gdi32.dll. "

So, it may not be an nvraid problem after all.

What you think.

No, it is not an nForce IDE driver problem.

Obviously the file named GDI32.DLL has become corrupted.

You may try to repair the file by doing the following:

1. Boot off the Windows XP CD.

2. At the Welcome to Setup screen, press R to start the Recovery Console.

3. Press the number key that corresponds to the installation partition that you want to repair, and then press ENTER.

4. Type the Administrator password, and then press ENTER.

5. With the Windows XP CD-ROM still in the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:

cd system32
ren gdi32.dll gdi32.old
CD-ROM_or_DVD-ROM_Drive_Letter:
cd \i386
expand gdi32.dl_ BootDriveLetter:\windows\system32
exit

6. Reboot and remove the CD

I have found this solution for a quite similar problem here.

Good luck!

"Great minds think alike" I was doing the research on "Gdi32.dll" and it appears to be either corrupted once the sp3 installed completely and I was looking for the KB912919 file so i can delete it just to see if that was the case. However I will have downloaded the GDI32.dll and copied it to a floppy disk, but i dont know how to inject it into the system?. But since you have already replied with an suggestion. I will try yours first to see if it's fixable that way.

However I will have downloaded the GDI32.dll and copied it to a floppy disk, but i dont know how to inject it into the system?.

It will be very easy:

When you are at point 5, enter the following:

cd system32
ren gdi32.dll gdi32.old
A:
copy gdi32.dll BootDriveLetter:\windows\system32
exit

[Cyntek]

copy gdi32.dll BootDriveLetter:\windows\system32

Alright, I did exactly what is written down.

"copy gdi32.dll C:\windows\system32"

Because when i did exactly what is written on your post above and it came back with "Access Denied"

Okay I did it, now its rebooting

Hmm, It booted up to the windows xp logo, and I still get the endless reboot. Im in F8 again.

Now it say its missing the Kernel32.dll ..... i might as well just do another clean install, However, I will copy the Kernel32.dll and see if it will work.

I couldn't give you the exact command line, because I didn't know the drive letter of your corrupted XP partition. That is why I wrote "BootDriveLetter" instead of "C".

[Cyntek]

that's alright i figured it out.

[Cyntek]

well, i installed the gdi32.dll but now it tells me the Kernel32.dll is not connecting to the dynamic link library Kernell32.dll now, Im going try the same technique and see if this will fix it.

Okay, I finished installing the new kernel32.dl and we still have no successful xp. Well it seems I will have to the clean install.
