fixing corrupt SYS file

[gregf]

My WIN XP PC has a strange problem-

When I boot, it gives me the error that
windows\system32\drivers\isapnp.sys is corrupt or missing

I looked for a solution on the MS website, which came up with this-
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;EN-US;Q315311

It, and other web sites, had insructions to enter Repair Counsel and
rename/reinstall the file from the windows disk. But alas, after typing
in the correct commands, it turned up with an "Access Denied" message.


Won't boot in safemode, won't boot in last known config, or any mode
for that matter, it just comes to the same error.

If the filesystem is FAT32, place a copy of the correct version file on a
Windows 98 Startup disk then boot to the floppy and replace the corrupt file
using the command prompt. If it's NTFS then you could use a Bart PE bootable
cd. Once you have it up and running I would look into why your system won't
boot into Safe Mode.
