What Does This Mean?

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me what this means…

NTDETECT Failed

We get this now when we try to boot up the tired old Gateway at home.

Also, anyone knows of a good computer doctor here in Chiang Mai should we need to have someone fix this problem. I’m afraid we’re not very computer literate.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

This is a Windows Error and most likely the file ntdetect.com is damaged or you've a problem with your Boot.ini.

But is difficult to say because your info ins't enough.

For to get help you need to post all details, started by your comp spec , windows version, which SP and a clear description how that error occurs.

But I'm out of my office within 10 minutes but there would be other members to help you.

Cheers.

Thanks Reimar,

It a Gateway Laptop DS 450x We’re using Windows XP Professional.

We were on Yahoo checking email, left the computer for a while. When we returned, there was something there about “dumping physical memory”. I rebooted (a mistake, I’m sure) then on start-up the NTDETECT Failed error message came up.

If worse comes to worse, we will go see someone at Pantip or Icon computer here in Chiang Mai. We’re just hoping we didn’t lose everything. Luckily we have all our pics and music discs.

Anyway, if anybody knows what happen…

Thanks
