Process1 error

[Guest]

Hi!

For info, regarding the undefined PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED error on a
BSOD, I faced it twice during the last days on a WinXPPro 1+12 PC Classroom
removal activity, on two actually required full repair re-installs on the
previous WinXPPro.

The both cases were solved by taking the hard disk in question to another
machine as a slave and running the WinXP Disk Check with repair i.e. all 5
phases on it ...

Note, after the procedure, just in case, please check the active status of
the booting partitions on both of the disks, on my case they seemed to get
deactivated for some reason ...


Best regards,

Pete V.

Hello Pete,

Curious: Did any of these systems have Roxio GoBack program?

As a sidenote: Instead of removing the HDs, I would have suggested running CHKDSK in the XP Recovery Console (after booting from XP CD).

Here are references for Recovery Console in Windows XP:

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I read several threads noting the Roxio GoBack, but I haven't ever been
seen it in use anywhere ...

To do the WinXP Disk Check on another machine was now quite easy and
practical, as now during this project having all the 13 machines covers open
on the tables all the time ...


Best regards,
