Hello:

Please, I would appreciate any help with a problem migrating from W2000 to
XP Prof SP2. I have an AliveNF5-eSATA2 motherboard which worked well with
W2000. I upgrated to XP SP2 and when started XP for the first time, obtained
a blue screen 0x0000007B (0xBACC3524, 0xC0000034......). I have set boot.ini
for logging /BOOTLOG but the case is that the boot process does not generate
the file ntbtlog.txt. I searched for it but I can´t find it under Winnt o
under Windows. Is it possible ?. Starting in secure mode the boot runs 5
seconds showing some drivers and then there is a white blue screen saying
that recording is enable, and after that ....restart. Trying with F8 gives
same results. In which moment the boot process opens the log file ?. Why it
is not regenerated in my case ?. Any suggestions ?
Thanks very much for your time. My best regards.
Roberto
 
Try booting to xp cd,press F6 key when prompted,install SATA/RAID drivers
from the mfg floppy disk,once installed,continue to xp cd menu,select
install xp,select "repair this copy".You'll loose all updates,but should
fix xp &
install the proper controller drivers.
 
Generally an upgrade works well, but if memory is slightly iffy it can fail.
Presumably when you did the upgrade process there were no err msgs?
 
There was an error about driver Rtnicxp.sys not found . At this time, the
recover console is working well and I copy this driver from original CD to
c:\winnt\system32\drivers. Also I deactivate onboard Lan chip from BIOS to
prevent use of this drivers. I have read something about a347xxxx.sys drivers
used by Alcohol120% that can crash startup and so renamed them. But the
problem persists.
I deleted al nt*.log files from c:\winnt to be sure about the fact that log
file isn´t being generated.

I still have to try the first option repairing the copy.

Drivers for Windows XP can be different to that for Windows 2000. Nforce
driver package? Have you updated?
