    If the NTFS file system is corrupted, would it be possible (and help) to convert to FAT32 and then back to NTFS?

    NooNoo,

    Probably a stupid question, but if ntfs.sys is corrupt, can it be replaced by another one?

    BTW, I upgraded my memory, could that be the cause?

    Still another question: On the XP installation I can see ntfs.sys. Can't I copy it directly from cd to the windows directory?
