Mangler NTDETEC.com

Har næsten lige været et tip om dette:

There are times when Windows NT won't start, and you know why it won't start. Suppose Ntdetect.com is bad. When you try to boot the computer, you get an error message telling you that the system can't find, or load, Ntdetect.

When something like this happens, you can go through the usual procedures to restore the system. But since you know what's wrong, you can get running again more quickly if you have a boot floppy.

To create a boot floppy, insert a floppy disk into Drive A. Right-click on the floppy disk icon and choose Format. Format the disk using Full Format (just to be safe). Now open Windows NT Explorer and click on the root folder (usually C:\). Copy the following files to the floppy disk:


Boot.ini
Ntdetect.com
Bootsect.dos (for dual start-up installations) NTLDR
Ntbootdd.sys (if it's in the root folder, copy it)

If you don't see these files in your root folder, choose View, Options in Windows Explorer. Select the radio button labeled Show All Files. Now click on Apply and then OK. Now you should see the files. If you don't, press F5 and look again.

Using the boot floppy, you can boot into your damaged system and make the appropriate repairs.

Ok det lyder fint men hvor får jeg fat i de filer?

Håbede på du havde en tilsvarende disk.

NTDetect indeholder informationerne for computerens system komponenter, bus og adapter komponenter, disk geoemtri, ROM, keyboard, COM-porte og parallel porte (samt tilkoblede komponenter), mus, floppy.

Så du kan praktisktalt ikke finde en NTDetect der er magen til den du har slettet. Har dy prøvet med nogle recovery tools?

Hvis du er heldig, kan du muligvis finde et værktøj her:

ntdetect ligger på din cdrom i i386 mappen - kopier den ind ved hjælp af gendannelseskonsollen.
