Swap file
If
you do not have much free hard disk space your swap file will not be
able to expand which can cause your computer run slow. Not enough
free space also causes your swap file to swap between physical
memory and the hard disk more frequently, which increases the
chances of general protection faults.
NT boot issues
The boot menu disappears
If
you want to set up a dual-boot system, you must install the
alternate operating system before you install Windows NT. If you
install Windows NT first and then install another operating system,
it will overwrite the boot sector, and the PC will no longer look
for the NTLDR file. To correct this problem install a new copy of
Windows NT to a different directory. Doing so will make NT bootable.
You can then edit your BOOT.INI file and remove any references to
the new copy.
BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR Please insert another disk
Your
boot sector is okay because it still points to the NTLDR file.
However, your NTLDR file is either missing or damaged. To correct
this problem, replace the NTLDR file with a backup file or install a
new copy of Windows NT to a different directory
Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or
corrupt: \\system32\ntoskrnl.exe Please reinstall a copy of the above file.
This
problem usually occurs because the BOOT.INI file points to the wrong
location for the Windows NT operating system or NTOSKRNL.EXE is
missing or damaged. Copy the file from a backup or install a new
copy of Windows NT to a different directory and copy file.
NTDETECT Checking Hardware 'E
The
NTDETECT.COM file is missing or damaged. To correct the problem,
copy the file from a backup or install a new copy of Windows NT to a
different directory
I/O Error accessing boot sector file
ulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1):\bootsect.dos
This
error indicates that the BOOT.INI file either points to the wrong
location for the BOOTSECT.DOS file or that the BOOTSECT.DOS file is
corrupt.
OS
Loader V4.00 Windows NT could not start because of a computer disk
hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected
boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the
Windows NT documentation about hardware disk configuration and your
hardware reference manuals for additional information.
This
message means that the location BOOT.INI points to doesn't contain a
valid file system This error can be caused by an incorrect location
specified in BOOT.INI. For example, if the BOOT.INI file points to a
volume that's unformatted, you'll receive this error. It can also be
caused by a crashed hard disk, or a hardware-implemented RAID device
that's dropped off-line.
