Missing Ntfs.sys file

G

Guest

I got a blue screen error stating that the ntfs.sys file is either missing or
corrupt. In checking /System32/Drivers/ the Ntfs.sys file is missing.

The problem is that the OS is a pre-loaded Windows XP Home version and I'm
unable to get the ntfs.sys file from the recovery disk (I hate pre loaded
systems!!). I do have a Win XP Pro CD for my other pc, and my question
is..."can I use the ntfs.sys file from the Pro CD to replace the XP Home
version?

Any help would be great.

As far as I know the ntfs.sys files are the same between Pro and Home,
and copying it from the CD to your system could be helpful; although this
particular file going missing might indicate a different problem and
replacing it might not be the solution to that problem.
Check that the file is not hidden first.
