Rundll errors in XP and capitals

Jeroen · 01-07-2006

Hi,

I reinstalled windows XP today but because the setup didnt detect my S-Ata controller and I don't have a diskette drive, I installed it on an old IDE disk and then cloned the partition to my S-ata disk. It did boot fine then. Next I ran DriveMapper and let it change all references from C: to K:. It did that, and now it still works fine except for 2 things: At startup i get 2 rundll error messages (see img) and some of my windows standard names are ALL CAPITALS. Is it possible those capitals are because I converted the partition from NTFS to Fat32?
And how do I fix those errors?

Howdy GE64,
Did you convert NTFS into Fat32 or did you just reformat it into fat32?

Hey there GE64, can i recommend that you perform a repair install of XP, by following this guide.

It was first installed on an NTFS partition then after I copied it I converted it to Fat32 with Partition Magic 8.

Will anything like programs be lost if I do that? Also I think i need something to clean my MBRs because i had grub first (on another drive) but i removed the linux partitions, now grub doesnt load anymore so I cant reach my other windows install

Those two dll errors are both from youre Nvidia graphics driver.. I think it would be easier to reinstall those then to do a repair install..

And the capitals might indeed are caused by copying from NTFS to FAT32 , but i dont know if that should be a real problem.

Also give this a try to rebuilt youre boot.ini:

1.Boot with XP CD
2.Press R to load the Recovery Console.
3.Type bootcfg

Ok tyvm ill reinstall the nVidia drivers

Yeh the capitals arent really a problem, just ugly :P i managed to change the My Computer into something else once so it should be fixable by changing registry things.

Is there a good MBR fix utility that detects all your installed OSses or resets the MBR on multiple drives? Because I have partition commander on my 2,25gb drive which will boot the windows bootloader which boots wither the old windows on C: or the new copy on K:, but I want to take that drive out and the drive that has K: on it still has the broken grub loader.

(Also, does anyone reccomend a pc case with lots of space for wires because im totally finished with my current one)
