Hi, I have dell laptop with windows xp home. It is not booting up even in safe mode. In safe mode it hangs after displaying loading driver isapnp.sys file. In other modes, it displays blank screen. I tried replacing the sys file from installation CD but no use. I run chkdsk command from recovery console, but no use. I tried repairing the xp using the installation CD. It did copy set of files and restarted after copying. But no use and hangs at the same isapnp.sys files. No error is shown.

isapnp.sys is normally the last driver of "system reserved" group, then xp loads "boot bus extender" group. some virus could have injected a driver belonging to this group: if your antivirus catched it or something weird happened, your xp should hang just at that point.

you have to work offline (with a live cd as ubcd4win or mounting your harddisk on a working pc, not as the bootable one obviously), check if there is something strange in windows\system32\drivers, e.g. a file .sys 0Kb long with an unusual name, then find its name in registry (it could have a bit weird registry entry too)

beware of doing a backup (exporting in a reg file) before deleting those entries. besides that, this type of viruses usually load something else, at least as autorun (e.g. under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run), so you've to check the registry for other suspect entries in known places (and/or doing an offline scan with an update antivirus)

Another critical symptom caused by this malware: This malware modifies the Userinit area in the registry (replacing the userinit.exe with wsaupdater.exe) and Ad-Aware (with a particular definition update) removes the wsaupdater.exe file from the system, thus causing the Logon - Logoff loop. That is, when you login to Windows, the \'loading personal settings\" verbose will appear, but suddenly it will logoff. This issue was documented clearly by Lavasoftusa in it\'s Lavahelp Knowledgebase.

• Boot from ERD 2005, load the registry and navigate to this key
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon
   
• Look at what the userinit value is. On my customer\'s machine it was %system32%\userinit.exe which is invalid.
• Next change the value to read
  
  C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe

You might see slight variations on the corrupt key, just restore to the correct value.
Additonally if the above does not work check the file is actually present, sometimes antivirus and malware scans will remove the file because of infection/corruption.
It is advised to run SFC after this procedure.

I also want to add this to the solutions for installing windows 7, it happened to me, I would get all the way up to the splash screen for the Windows 7 before you get windows install button. However, I didn't have a floppy in the computer(no one does anymore) though it was enabled in the bios and apparently the installer was looking for the floppy and just hangs, so disable it in bios and you will come up with no problems.

=(A1 - 25569)*86400 

Where A1 is a cell set to display as a date. Set the cell with the above formula to display as a plain numder, and I think it will display the timestamp value.

Based on this page about the reverse transformation. 

=(A1 / 86400) + 25569

This method does not seem to be correct

If we assume the date in Excel is in A1 cell formatted as Date and the Unix timestamp should be in a A2 cell formatted as number the formula in A2 should be:

= (A1 * 86400) - 2209075200

where:

86400 is the number of seconds in the day 2209075200 is the number of seconds between 1900-01-01 and 1970-01-01 which are the base dates for Excel and Unix timestamps.

The above is true for Windows. On Mac the base date in Excel is 1904-01-01 and the seconds number should be corrected to: 2082844800

Summary: You may be looking for a way to have a formula determine if a particular cell has anything in it. Here's how you can find the information. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007.)

=IF(LEN(F1)>0,"Found something there","Nothing is there")

=IF(B4<>"","Found something there","Nothing is there")

=IF(ISBLANK(D7),"Input values missing",D7)

First:
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Using this Program, or my hints how to use it, could EASILY DESTROY your XP-Installation
to a state where repair is DIFFICULT. VERY.
IF you don´t know how to handle it...

If this torrent is not seeded yet, i upped it to rapidshare too.

Norton Ghost 2003 basically is a DOS-BASED program that BACKS UP your drive(s), partition(s),
no matter if they are FAT32 or NTFS !
BUILD IN USB 2.0 SUPPORT for External Drives ! (If your BIOS supports it)

CD/DVD-Burner support. Norton Ghost 2003 can burn your backup-files
directly to CD or DVD. Bootable !

NO NEED to reinstall XP first, just restore your installation from the backup files !
THAT is the BIG advantage compared to "newer" versions of Norton Ghost.


INCLUDED in this torrent-file:

Boot-Disk version as *.ima file (and WinImage V.8 to burn it to disk)
(Yes, program is small enough to fit on a HD-Disk, but worth its bytes in gold, believe me :-)

CD-ROM version as bootable *.ISO file. (Disk-drives are not common anymore)
(NOTE: Burned CD will look "empty" in XP, don´t worry. Just pop in and restart)

Paragon Partition Manager Professional 7.00.000.1057 Full Retail

This description as README.TXT


Hints:

To backup your XP-Partition, you need either:

1. An external USB-Drive (If your BIOS supports it)

2. A CD/DVD-Burner AND a 3.5"-HD-DiskDrive

3. A second built-in Partition Or HardDrive, FAT32 or NTFS.
(Smart thing to do is having your XP on a SMALL partion, like 10-15 GB, and all major stuff on a second partition. Reduces backup-time to 20 minutes or so :-)

IF you only have 1 HDD with 1 Partition (e.g. LapTop),
you will have to use Paragon Partition Manager to DOWNSIZE your partition, then create a second
one for backup. Obviously, this will only work if your HDD has enough free space...
I recommend DEFRAGMENTING your drive before you do that.
(Btw, backup your system, RESIZE partition or SPLIT drive in 2 partions with Partition Manager, then restore to small partition...NO PROBLEM with Ghost 2003.)

Ghost 2003 has an option to COMPRESS your backup files, so, lets say, your HDD is 120 GB, 35 GB used, you will need about 30 GB on your new partition.
Norton Ghost will split up backup to 2GB pieces, which you can burn on DVD(s).

If Norton Ghost 2003 seems to get confused recognizing your external USB-drive, try to DISABLE
"LEGACY USB SUPPORT" in BIOS. Worked for me :-)

Norton Ghost 2003 Should ALSO WORK on VISTA or any other system, but i didn´t try yet, so i can´t be sure.

I tested about everything before uploading, should you still get
problems, send me a PM.

Ok, think that´s it !
Happy Backups !

I found info on Commandline switches.
(Usefull ONLY if you plan creating a fully automated Restore-DVD)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples of the CLONE switch

Example 1
Copy drive one to drive two on a computer without the final prompt:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2 -sure

Example 2
Connect through NetBIOS to another computer that is running Ghost in slave mode, and dump a disk image of the second local drive to the remote file c:\drive2.gho:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=dump,src=2,dst=C:\drive2.gho -nbm

Note that Ghost at the slave computer can be started with ghost -nbs.

Example 3
Copy the second partition on drive one to the first partition on drive two on the same computer without the final prompt:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pcopy,src=1:2,dst=2:1 -sure

Example 4
Load the disk image file savedsk.gho on the server drive mapped locally to drive E onto drive 1 of the local computer. Do not prompt if OK to proceed:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=E:\savedsk.gho,dst=1 -sure

This example is typical what would be in a batch file that automates workstation installations from a network server.

Example 5
Dump the second partition of drive one to an image file on the G: drive:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:2,dst=g:\part2.gho

Example 6
Load partition 2 from a two-partition image file on a mapped drive G: onto the second partition of the local disk:

ghost -clone,mode=pload,src=g:\part2.gho:2,dst=1:2

Example 7
Load drive 2 from an image file, and resize the destination partitions into a 60:40 allocation:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=g:\2prtdisk.gho,dst=2,sze1=60P,sze2=40P

Example 8
Clone a three partition disk and keep the first partition on the destination drive the same size as on the source disk, but divide up the remaining space between the other partitions leaving no unallocated space:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2,sze1=F,sze2=V,sze3=V

Example 9
Load drive one from an image file and resize the first partition to 450 MB, the second to 1599 MB and the third to 2047 MB:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=g:\3prtdisk.gho,dst=1,sze1=450M,sze2=1599M,sze3=2047M

Example 10
Load a disk from an image file and resize the last partition to its capacity. The first partition utilizes the remaining space:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=g:\2prtdisk.gho,dst=1,szeL

Example 11
Load drive one from an image file being sent from the multicast server with the session name SESSIONNAME without final prompt:

ghost.exe -clone,src=@mcSESSIONNAME,dst=1 -sure

Example 12
Create an image file of drive one to an image file being created by the multicast server with the session name SESSIONNAME without final prompt:

ghost.exe -clone,src=1,dst=@mcSESSIONNAME -sure

Example 13
Create an image file of drive two's partitions to an image file being created by the multicast server with the session name SESSIONNAME:

ghost.exe -clone,src=2,dst=@mcSESSIONNAME

Example 14
Write an image that has three partitions to drive one. Use an image file that is sent by the Multicast Server or GhostCast Server using the session name SESSIONNAME. Also resize the first partition to 450 MB, the second partition to 1599 MB and the third partition to 2047 MB.

Because this task requires one imaging operation for each partition that you will resize, the task requires that you use a batch file. Using a batch file with error checking prevents the need for user intervention if a problem occurs.

In the following batch file, the first line executes the -CLONE command three times. The first instance uses the word -CLONE, and the other two instances (which are ,sze1=450M and ,sze3=2047M), use the comma to instruct Ghost to use default commands.

The following batch file is incomplete and is intended only as an example of typical commands that a batch file for Ghost might use.

ghost.exe -clone,src=@mcSESSIONNAME,dst=1,sze1=450M,sze2=1599M,sze3=2047M -batch
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO PROBLEM
ECHO Ghost exited with value of 0 which indicates success.
REM **Add any extra commands that are required here if Ghost succeeds**
GOTO FINISH

:PROBLEM
ECHO GHOST returned with an Error value of 1 or greater.
ECHO Ghosting was not completed successfully
REM **Add any extra commands that are required here if Ghost fails**

:FINISH
ECHO Batch File Finished.

Example 15
In this example, under Symantec Ghost 8.0, there is one hard drive with two partitions. One or both partitions could be an NTFS partition. The following command writes the image of the first partition to the second partition under the image.gho file name.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=1:2\image.gho
