I have fujitsu PC which has crashed. I cannot reboot it with recovery CD as message iastor.sys file cannot be found keeps on coming! Could some body help me please.
 
So if you try and boot from CD to do a restore it also comes up with this message? The messaghe indicates an issue with a piece of software that relates to some intel hardware, for example a graphics card or more likely a chipset driver or I/O driver etc. If it is coming up when you boot from cd without going into the operating system at all, then it could indicate a problem with your hardware, possibly drive controllers. Cheers.
 
It indicates a SATA/RAID driver is missing ... F6 & a floppy disk ... obviously, not a SP2 ready recovery disk. :rolleyes:


how PC/Laptop manufactures get away with NOT supplying an operating system CD is beyond me ... not fit for the purpose without one imho. ;)

Thanks guys. So how I can fix the problem and boot Window XP System with theSP2 ready recovery CD Rom. At the moment I keep on getting a blue screen with message ' iaStor.sys file missing' . I simply unable recover Window XP Set up. Help please !
 
ANy idea's Muck? If the PC is under warranty with Fujitsu they maybe able to supply a more upto date Restore CD(most restore CD's are cr*p anyway - my opinion) When it's loading into the restore Cd before it bluescreen's does it give you an option to load additional drivers or anything - like the full XP Cd will let you push F6(i think) and load additional controller drivers from a Floppy disk or something....
 
Not sure meself, this person is still wanting an answer too ...

... I would suggest borrowing a "real" XP (with sp2) CD off a friend and try again.

I can't find an answer, and, there seems to be a load of Fujitsu owners looking for help on the same subject. Seems common to them. :rolleyes:

I wonder why they stopped making HDs. ;)

One may get better help Here but I won't hold my breath. :)
