super sian.. mup.sys prob

BeNo SG

really need to let my frustration off... cant help to throw all out...

I got a IBM 240X, no CDROM & no floppy..
Windows 2000 OS got crashed and decided to install XP..

took out the hard disk and plug into my desktop via converter..
everything go well and could boot up to XP without any problem..

But the moment I fix hard disk back to notebook.. it hung! tried using safe mode and found it hung at mup.sys... keep on running between the desktop and notebook.. KNN, need to screw and unscrew for the notebook...

surf around web and could onli do a chkdsk.. the rest cannot do.. Y?

desktop and notebook hardware different.. no floppy and cannot boot up.. how to flash BIOS....

tried to do a recovery on desktop but hung when booting into recovery...

Damn.. I am really piss at this moment.. maybe I got better luck tomorrow....

Please dun tell me to install linux.. this notebook will be for my parent, they had a little problem using windows.. not to event mention Linux..

Arrghhh.. fking hell microsoft..

my worst feeling is that i might need to reformat the hard disk, install win98.. then flash the BIOS.. and reinstall XP..

sigh.... pui pui all the bad luck away...

I feel your pain. mup.sys is a required driver file at startup for windows. You can find it under the "drivers" folder of system32, or the "i386" folder in servicepackfiles, which ever version is newer. Very Happy

i veri happi liow.. from afternoon till now.. keep on removing HDD from notebook and fix to desktop.. do something and then fix back to notebook.. surf net looking for solution, tried the solutions.. then do my own testing...

somehow.. as XP has more features and stable.. it get more funny problems and hard to solve...

no matter what the outcome...u already improve ur hardware skill Mr. Green

for me, i dont dare to removing HDD so many time.(try my best dont even touch the CPU hardware).

finally,do a work around..

get the notebook to fix to company desktop and downgrade to install Windows 2000..

I figured that the BIOS is outdated and therefore XP having some problems.. but i dun have floppy disk and cant flash it.

Thanks for the comments.. paperduck, all thanks to my ex-coy notebook always having problems so quite familiar...
