Ok , my system crashed and showed the blue screen and when i booted back up
in normal mode , i got 2 error reports : Hard Disk Drive Error Detected and
Solution Found: Run LiveUpdate to Get the Update ( caused by Norton AntiVirus
/ Symantec AntiVirus (SAVRT.sys) )
Maybe this is the problem : i recently installed a BigFoot TX for file
transfer ( reinstall Win XP ) and now ,after the reinstall on the same
partition , i have , on D: , my main HDD , D:/WINDOWS (old) and D:/WINDOWS2
(new) , i edited the boot OS list to remove the second ( old ) OS ( still
showed up ), But when i go in the BIOS , if i select the C: or D: ( Maxtor 30
Gb and Maxtor 160 Gb ) as boot HDD , i have , when i select the 160 , this
error : NTRLD Missing , Press Any Key To Reboot ( same error i had b4
reinstalling Windows , and i still have it ! ) and when i select the 30 gb ,
it says " OS not Found " ; and the only thing i added recnetly is RAM,
Azenram 514mb DDR400 ( PC3200 ) to the 2 256mb that i already had ( Major
PC2100 ) , and i didn't have any problems whit it , but i also did a TuneXP
routine , so amybe that messed up stuff since my OS folder isn't standard.
