My current next step is a Windows Repair Install, which may work but will leave the Windows in an out of date state and require a lot of updating and then it still may not be completely stable. Does that mean it will work on a non-booting installation or does that mean that it will only work on a remote, running windows system? The MS web site seems to indicate that it’s possible via WMI scripting to do a remote System Restore.
#DELL DIMENSION 8300 DRIVERS WINDOWS XP FULL#
Is there any way to run a full System Restore on a non-booting Win install? Why oh why doesn’t System Restore run from Recovery Console? Is is possible to examine the Restore points and manually recreate a System Restore? What would be worst case with trying fixmbr, bootcfg, etc? I tried enabling boot logging but that apparently doesn’t kick in before it crashes.

I have avoided trying fixmbr via the Recovery Console, out of a concern for messing up Dell’s proprietary partitions, etc. Is that a reasonable assumption?ĭoes the fact that the whole range of Windows boot options are available and that these two dozen or so drivers are apparently being loaded as displayed in Safe Mode, indicate that the problem is NOT with the boot configurations and that the problem is within the Windows configuration? Or could there still be boot/mbr problems?
#DELL DIMENSION 8300 DRIVERS WINDOWS XP DRIVER#
Is there anyway to determine (even approximately) the loading order of drivers? It seems that if I could determine the next driver that is going to be loaded after the last one is displayed in Safe mode, I would know where the problem is stemming from. Note that this was not a full System Restore i.e. I tried some utilities that restored previous Registry states – no change. I get the same behavior in all XP boot modes (Safe, Last Known, etc.) When booting from a Windows boot CD (see below) the file systems on all drives appear to be fine. Here’s some other things that I’ve discovered about the current state of the system:Įxtensive testing has not indicated any drive or hardware problems. I moved the boot drive to a very similar system and it behaved exactly the same way.

Disabling agp44.sys has crash after the next previous driver, etc. Using Recovery Console, disabling dontgo.sys and removing the Promise eSata card, it still crashes immediately after the previous driver ( agp44.sys) is displayed. (this is the Promise eSata controller driver). In Safe mode it shows a couple of dozen drivers being loaded but it crashes after dontgo.sys. In normal boot, this appears a few seconds after the Windows logo. When I boot XP I’m getting a BSOD with the usual warning and then this Stop message: Origin: Power Outage (OK, I admit that I’m a klutz and that I accidentally hit the power strip power switch, while I was crawling around behind the PC, plugging in a printer) Windows XP SP2 (Dell OEM) with latest updates as of July 2007. I would run Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Professional, since Windows Virtual PC with XP mode will not work because the processor does not support hardware based virtualization.īest, Andre Windows Insider MVP MVP-Windows and Devices for IT twitter/adacosta groovypost.Dell Dimension 8300 Pentium 4 3.2ghz / 2gb RAM / Seagate Sata: 120gb and 200gb, Seagate 500mb external eSata via Promise eSata PCI card, Nvidia 6200, etc.

I am not sure about AutoRoute, but I have Office 2003 on another machine running Windows 7 and runs just fine, just make sure you install the latest service pack and updates.
#DELL DIMENSION 8300 DRIVERS WINDOWS XP SOFTWARE#
Will my existing Microsoft Application Software run on Windows 7 ? Is this machines performance likley to be improved by installing Windows 7?Ĭertainly, boot time, shutdown, loading of the desktop and working in the Windows 7 interface is very snappy.
