I couldn't decide which forum to put this in, so have landed here ... sorry it's a bit long ..
Erm, I've had this bootup problem 3 times
UPDATING ESCD .. Success
VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA >.
BOOT FROM ATAPI CD-ROM FAILURE
BOOT FROM ATAPI CD-ROM FAILURE
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

I manage to retrieve it by using the XP System Disk - it appeared to be replacing a lot of system files, then I had to be careful not to start reinstalling Windows all over again - then the PC has appeared to run fine.
But also this morning I had a Blue Screen following the above recovery procedure. I turned PC off and ON and it's working ok (so far).
The message on the Blue Screen is as the attachment but here is the text, not sure of the final line :

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty of mismatched memory, try changing video adapters.
Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to .... etc press F8 etc.
~~~
The only things that have changed recently are -
Hardware
1) I had a DVD RW Drive installed
2) I had a PCI card with 4 USB2 ports installed
Software
I've installed Adobe Premiere Elements 2 and had a few problems with the disk .. my CD ROM kept saying 'Not Responding' and I had to install it via the Explore route.
Something odd in Device Manager I've noticed - this has appeared :
VSO Devices
Patin Couffin engine
When I check the Driver details in Device Manager, it says
Driver Provider : VSO Software
Driver Date : Not available
Driver Version: Not available
Digital Signer: Not digitally signed
I don't know what that is or how it got there.
~~~
Any thoughts ?
Also -
I've been reading this on another forum that I don't belong to ...
Step By Step Instructions:
1: Remove the old Patin Couffin Engine from your device manager (Listed under VSO Devices)
2: Remove the PcSetup.exe file from the DVDXcopy Platinum folder.
3: Download Patin Couffin Engine 1.17 and install it.
But I don't have a PcSetup.exe file on my PC. I wonder if something installed it then I uninstalled that software?
Recently, I also installed Ulead MediaStudio Pro 7 VE then didn't like it, uninstalled it.
I also downloaded http://www.irfanview.com/ but didn't like that and uninstalled it.
Wonder if it was either of those?
