Q: page_fault_in_nonpaged_area - unable to boot into w2k

[Voitec]

Hi,

OS = Win2KPro

Extract of error received:
*******************
Stop: 0x00000050 (0xD3DC7302, 0x00000000,0x80401C26,0x00000000)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

***Address 80401C26 base at 80400000, DateStamp 39760637 - ntoskrnl.exe
*******************

I cannot boot & I have not added anything new to the PC. I have tried
swapping memory sticks already.
If I re-install the OS will that wipe my existing data contained on a
spanned volume consisting of a few disks?


Thanks

Thanks Jerold.

I have read the articles and they do not seem to cover the symptoms that I
experienced.
Thanks for the link to your site though - pretty informative

Looks like I have no choice but to reformat...
