This behavior occurs because some files are not read properly from the DVD-ROM during the file copy phase of the setup process; some files may become corrupted.

During some occurrences, you may receive an error message. During other occurrences, you do not receive an error message and the file is copied without errors; however, a piece of the file is corrupted after the file is copied to your computer.

Firmware updates should resolve this issue:
hope this helps

Hi Friend, As you have reinstalled Windows XP on the system then you have to install the drivers for the touch pad of the system so that the scroll can work on the system
I am giving you the link, I would request you to please download them and then install them and restart your system and then check.

System32.ntfs is missing and corrupt the sound drivers i am constantly downloading are coming up with the same error every time error installing ikernel.exe:(0x10000) what is it????

hi buddy!

If you are attempting to install software over a network connection, copy the installation files to your local hard drive and run the installation from your own computer. If you are not installing over a network, try the following troubleshooting steps that usually resolve this issue.
  1. Launch Windows Explorer by pressing Windows Key + E on your keyboard or select Start > Run and type explorer.
  2. Browse to C:\Program Files \Common Files\InstallShield\engine.
  3. Right-click the highlighted engine directory and select Delete.
  4. Install the latest version of the iKernel engine.
    1. Download iKernel engine update and save it to your Desktop.
    2. Double-click on ikernelupdate.exe to install.
PS:
pls rate me if my solution solve the issue and you need more further information. but if is invaluable solution rate me fixya.

What is NTLDR

Hi,

NTLDR is short for New Technology Loader, an essential initializing program for Windows.NT4/2k/XP.

A missing NTLDR indicates several fault possibilities, most common are:
1. partially defective memory;
2. corrupt files or Windows installation in the boot hard disk; and/or
3. IDE cable, motherboard, the hard disk itself and others.

If it is a memory problem, try removing the memory sticks and clean the gold pins with a pencil eraser, re-install and make sure seated correctly. Reboot and try again.

If it is a corrupt file, insert an OEM Windows XP Installer (bootable) CD into the PC and when prompted, press any key to boot from CD. Once in the setup menu, press the "R" key to repair Windows. Log into by pressing "1" key and then enter.
You would need your administrator password, then hit enter. You need to copy the missing file(s) from the CD to your HD. Type :
copy D:\i386\ntldr C:\
copy D:\i386\ntdetect.com D:\
Soon as copied, reboot.

If thereafter, other files turn out to be missing also, perhaps you might be better off formatting your HD and re-installing your OS since chances are not only 1 or 2 files are already corrupt.

In some cases, even a re-install will not solve the problem, you then may either have to replace your memory or your hard disk.

Hope this be of some idea/help. Pls post back how things turn out or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
