Page Fault in non paged area
Hi guys,
i have similar problem, hope you can give me some advice, i have a self built AMD64x2 system with 2 sticks of 1GB ram, with 2x 250GB SATA drives set in a Raid, with 4 seperate hard drives for storage, not in raid, each 150GB with 50/50 partitions, was reading up on unbuntu and thought i would give it a go a install it on one of the storage drives and set a boot option screen, after installing the linux system my windows xp system fails to start up, i get the windows loading screen, so i think that is reading the Boot Sector but part way through this the whole system crashs and i get BSOD, with no error message.
so i thought to get back my normal windows system i would use the XP install CD and go to the recovery console this got me into the recovery console but when i search for drives i get nothing. there are no drives or bootsectors for me to recover?????
then i thought to do a fresh install of my system on to one of the storage drives as these dont hold vital info but when i go through the install process of windows i get to the partion option/where to install option in it shows the drive but also says drive not found, and when i try to select a drive to format or change/remove the partion the install crashes, and goves me the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error message, now i have run memetest for about 2hrs and got no problems at all, and when i do boot unbuntu from the CD (not from the Hard drive as this just doesn't work) i can see the drives and i can access them , can't write to them though....they all show up in the system properties as being NTFS, so i don't understand why windows can't see them.
as i am lucky enought to have a spare PC kicking about, i booted the old beast up and plugged one of the SATA drives into it, now the bios recognises it is there but windows doesn't even thorugh the disk management option...
Any Ideas?? really need some help on this one
thanks
