My win xp wont start due to nvrd32.sys missing file...please help.

The file is an Nvidia Raid driver. You may have to copy the raid drivers to a floppy drive and install them via F6 during installation.

You need to reinstall your operating system.

If you encounter this while installing XP, then you need to use another CD

dear you need win xp cd your system is missing some files put the the cd in the driver and let automatic search found the missing files , if no you can re-instal windows again

if you see that is helpful please don't forget to vote me

best regards

need the xp disc someone or thing has deleted a system-32, made the same mistake and had to reload the OS. System 32 is a main part of Your OS with just one little whoops of deletion you render the program useless. it should save your old stuff in a win.old file which it'll explain as you redo the whole thing over again good luck hope I can help

That is the driver file for your NVidia graphics card

You should be able to continue the install by skipping the file and using the generic XP drivers. On completion download and install the NVidia drivers and all sholud be OK

nvr32.sys is a NVIDIA nForce RAID Driver, this driver essentially controls your hard drive in connection with the motherboard.

If you are able to boot into safe mode (pressing F8 during start up until the option becomes available), then you should be able to install the drivers

Inspiron 6000 Drivers can be found here, look for Chipset:

If this does not work for you then you will most likely need to re-install windows.

Try to remake the disk or seek out a new copy else were. Sounds like you may have a bad burn. If a secondary copy does not help please let me know and I can try to help track down the missing files.

The best thing to do is borrow a Win XP cd from a friend and do the following:
When you boot with the Win XP install CD-ROM, it loads a minimal operating system, similar to DOS, but compatible with Win XP. At the first screen you select install Win XP (not Recovery Console) and at the next screen it will find that you already have Win XP and offer to attempt a repair. This repair should not touch your applications, it just re installs the Windows files. This is great because when it works and you don't need to reinstall all your software.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe


I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

get hold of a win 98 boot disc (search the net) as it will have the files you are looking for, i am sure. copy them to your hard disc c:\windows or c:\windows\system
put them in both as i cant remember what one they go in. (it will not hurt in both).

good luck
