System 32\Drivers\nvata.sys

I having a major problem with my computer.

I am not able to get to my Start Screen.

I have Windows XP.

I am getting this message:

This looks like it's going to be a toughie.

What am I dealing with here?

How can I fix this??

I probably have the original CD-ROM disc in my computer box.

If I insert the disc and select "r" at the first screen to repair, will that fix it??

What are my options??

Also, is it OK to turn the computer off while it is in this state???

Also, there was a message that appeared on screen, and it said select "Last session when things were working OK", something to that effect, and I did, and that didn't fix it.

 

I have a Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom that came with the computer.

It says it "may only be used for backup and recovery of your Cyberpower Inc. computer system."

Here's my computer information:

OS: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32 bit


Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 2046 MB RAM

DirectX 9.0c

Sound: Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

8800GT NIVIDIA Geforce card, 1,024.0 MB memory

DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC

Speakers: Logitech


I am still getting the same message as quoted in the post above.

Should I place the Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom in the disc drive, and press "r" to recover???

 

Now, are you absolutely sure the Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom is not a Microsoft Windows disk???? :confused

(Note: I have been using computers for daily 2.5 years, but I am a noob when it comes to fixing computers).



The Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom came along with the computer when I purchased it.

The Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom states the following on the face of the disc:

I kept all the software discs that came with the computer in a box, and I do not perceive any other disc that matches for the purpose of fixing the problem I am having.

The only other CD-Roms that I think may help are these three which I will describe briefly:

1) P5N-E SLI
Graphics Integrated Motherboard
NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI/430i Series Support CD Rev. 281.02
ASUS(R)

2) SAMSUNG
SyncMaster
TFT-LCD Monitor

1. User's Guide

2. Install Driver


3) EvGA Intelligent Innovation

Gaming
Imaging
#D
Video
Entertainment
Photos
Graphics

Display Driver Installation CD

Version 81.3
Windows (R) Vista/XP




Cyberpower, Inc. made my computer's Console (i.e., system unit).

Would the Cyberpower, Inc. Recovery CD-Rom be the correct CD-ROM to use???

I thought all newly purchased computers come with a backup Windows OS disc??

 

Ok, I understand better now.



I have an older computer at home that has the following version of Windows:

OS: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 2, 32 bit

Processor: Intel (R) Pentium (R) D CPU 2.80 GHz 2.79GHz

1.00 GB of RAM


Can I use this computer to burn an MS Windows disk, and then use it on my newer computer that is having the problem with System 32\Drivers\nvata.sys???

Notice, my older computer's version of Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002has Service Pack 2.

I think I have the original manual that came with it somewhere.




Now, here's my newer computer's information:

OS: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32 bit

Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 2046 MB RAM

DirectX 9.0c

Sound: Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

8800GT NIVIDIA Geforce card, 1,024.0 MB memory

DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC

Speakers: Logitech


Does the difference in Windows' Service Pack numbers have any affect on my ability to use a MS Windows disk burned from the older computer to repair the newer computer??

Do the Service Pack numbers of Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002 have to match in order to use the older computer's MS Windows disk to repair the newer computer???

 

What I was referring to was trying to get an MS XP Home disk; I do not have one:

Apparently, I can get Dell to send me an MS XP Home disk for my older computer, but my question is, would it work on my newer computer that has the Windows XP, SP 3:

OS: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32 bit

Thank you very much for all this great information; it will take me a little while to read it all.

If I get into safe mode, is there anything I should do if I am able to get into it??

People have asked me if I can get into safe mode; but I don't know what I should do if I make it into there. :confused

Also, someone told me I cannot do a System Restore if I made it into safe mode, because it won't fix hardware problems:

 

I tried getting into Safe Mode, and unfortunately I cannot.

When I press F8, the Boot Menu appears, and then the Safe Mode screen, but when I select a safe mode option, the computer reboots windows, and I am back at the Safe Mode screen, and so on; so it is running like a loop.

I tried several times, and tried different options (e.g., last known good configuration; safe mode; safe mode with networking); nothing got me into safe mode.



Just to clarify, the computer that will not boot into Windows XP is the Cyberpower Inc. computer.

The Dell computer (Dimension E510) is an older computer that is running fine.


I was hoping to obtain a MS XP Home disk from Dell and using it to repair the Cyberpower computer.


Currently, I do not have a MS XP Home disk for either computer.


Is there anyway I can make / burn a Microsoft XP Home Disk from the old Dell Dimension E510 computer and use it to repair the Cyberpower computer???


I need the Microsoft XP Home Disk in order to repair the Cyberpower Inc.
computer.

I was unaware you had to burn one when I bought the Cyberpower Inc. computer.


Second Question:

If I cannot use the Dell to obtain a Microsoft XP Home Disk in order to make a repair on the Cyberpower Inc. computer, is there anywhere I can purchase a Microsoft XP Home Disk???


You seem to mention getting a Microsoft XP Home Disk is as simple as borrowing one from a friend.

Refer to a Windows disk from Microsoft not a restore disk you got from CyberPower.

If you can find a friend that has the genuine MS XP Home disk, you can borrow that


So, the friend's computer does not have to identically match my Cyberpower computer because the Microsoft XP Home Disk is a piece of software made by Microsoft and "fits all" computers running on Windows XP????


I might know someone who may have a Microsoft XP Home Disk.

Are there different Microsoft XP Home Disks depending on the Service Pack numbered version Windows Home Edition XP has???

My Cyberpower's OS is: Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32 bit.



So, in order to repair my computer, does that mean I have to find a Microsoft XP Home Disk with Service Pack 3, 32 bit on it???

Or does the Microsoft XP Home Disk cover all versions of Windows Home Edition XP Version 2002, and it doesn't matter which Service Pack version the OS contains?????
