Solved EMERGENCY- Sony Vaio "Operating System Not Found" (friend's drive!)

[Miranova23]

I integrated the drivers for the hard drive and the chipset, burned it, and the laptop read it! I got "Press any key to boot from CD," and then "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration." Then, black but I could hear it working. This error popped up: inf file txtsetup.sif status 32768, either corrupt or missing. Ideas?

Probably a bad disc that has either been damaged in some way or the file in question has been corrupted.

Do you have another disc or can you borrow one to try?

 

[Miranova23]

Guess I'll burn it again. It's apparently 1 of the files nLite took from the original disc.

Is there anyway I could open up this txtsetup.sif to see if there is something that should be changed?

OK, but give it a slow burn this time. If you get a good disc out of it, the waiting time is worth it. It'll probably pay you to choose to verify the disc at the end of the burn too.

If you want a good burner, try ImgBurn. It's free and good.

Where did you download the Intel drivers from?

 

[Miranova23]

I used MagicIso, at 11K the slowest that time =/

 

[Miranova23]

SonyVaio's website. Sony eSupport - VGN-NR330E - News & Alerts, selected XP for the operating system. Then I extracted them with Universal Extractor.

This one?
INDOTH-12766700-XP.EXE

Floppy or slipstream ?

 

[Miranova23]

yes, slipstream, after extracting.

Take a look at step 11.(option Multple Drivers)



Choose both setup inf files.

Choose all drivers.

Choose all sata controllers.

This says "Copy & Paste your Sata Driver to your image folder." Do I have to copy & paste the driver, or the extracted files, into the image folder as well as integrate them?

 

[theog]

NO, I add that to keep thing in one folder.

 

[Miranova23]

Okay, so is this right?

 

[theog]

This one INDOTH-12766700-XP only

 

[Miranova23]

Okay, I'll let ya know how it goes after I burn it & try. Thanks =)

 

[Miranova23]

Now I'm getting "Bootmgr is missing." T.T*

 

[Miranova23]

"Click Insert and Multiple Drivers in Folder again. Then, go to the folder where you extracted the f6flpy32_85.zip file (i.e. your SATA drivers). You should then see an Options box pop up like this image. You only need to select the controller corresponding to your model. Make sure that "TEXT MODE" is selected, not PnP mode!"

^---I missed this. Trying again.

 

[Miranova23]

Okay, finally got back to the option to load PnP or not, which now I know not to!
Mobile vs Desktop is obvious, but any idea which ones of those I should choose? Or multiples?

 

[Miranova23]

We finally have blue "Windows Setup" screen! Pressed F6 to install 3rd party drivers, and it's whirring away... I hope it's doing something good!

Nope. "File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 32768."

But it's the farthest I've gotten!

I've looked up this code and it seems I need to disable ACPI. How would I do that? This BIOS is way too simplified...

 

[Miranova23]

IT'S INSTALLED - FINALLY!

But no sooner than the Microsoft Windows XP logo appears, than it bluescreens.
0x0000007B (0xF78A6524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Ugh great. Now what?
Here's what was in this one: (when asked uPnP or text, I selected Text & then all of the mobile listings)
