- ================
-
- Error 0000001E
- --------------
-
- Question:
-
- What should I do about error 0001E?
-
- Answer:
-
- This error is caused by an exception error that is not handled at any
- level. It generally refers to a file system problem. Run CHKDSK or
- another similar utility on the drive in question. If your hardware is
- on the hardware compatibility list, please submit a bug report.
-
- NTVDM Error
- -----------
-
- Question:
-
- When I run MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 applications, I receive the following
- error message. Why?
-
- Insufficient memory or Disk Error in NTVDM or NTVDM Error's.
-
- Answer:
-
- Try the following:
-
- - Increase the swap file size to at least 20MB.
- - Make sure the video card is on the hardware compatibility list
- (1193HW.DOC). If it is not, try using the standard VGA driver.
- - Verify that the WOWEXEC.EXE is not corrupted by copying over a
- clean copy.
-
- Error 0x00000069 or 0x00000067
- ------------------------------
-
- Question:
-
- I get Error 0x00000069. What should I do?
-
- Answer:
-
- This is an initialization error that occurs when Windows NT tries to
- talk with the hard drive controller. It can be caused by many things.
- Try the following work arounds:
-
- - Slow down the DMA transfer rate on the controller.
-
- - Make sure both ends of the SCSI bus are terminated.
-
- - Make sure there are no IRQ, or memory address conflicts.
-
- - Make sure you are not using a faulty or unsupported driver.
-
- - Make sure NTDETECT.COM is in the root of the boot drive partition.
- Missing Windows NT files can also cause Error 69.
-
- Fatal System Error 0x0000000A
- -----------------------------
-
- Question:
-
- What do I do about:
-
- Fatal system error 0x0000000A
- IRQL expected to be less than or equal
-
- Answer:
-
- This usually indicates that you have changed the interrupt settings on
- an adapter such that the setting now disagrees with the setting you
- specified during Setup. It is possible that you have installed a new
- card since you installed Windows NT or, that you have an interrupt
- conflict with some other piece of hardware in your system. In
- addition, try the following:
-
- - Disable all CPU caching, BIOS shadowing and use non-turbo mode. If
- successful, re-enable these one at a time to determine which caused
- the problem.
-
- - On EISA systems, incorrect configuration files (for ISA devices)
- can cause this error. If you are using generic configuration files
- for ISA devices, check their validity or remove them completely.
-
- System Error F002
- -----------------
-
- Question:
-
- What is System Error F002?
-
- Answer:
-
- System Error F002 is usually generated when there is a faulty piece of
- hardware, like a bad memory chip. It can also be caused by a hardware
- incompatibility caused by one of the following:
-
- - Memory parity errors
- - Adapter asserting an I/O channel check on the bus, (VGA or network
- cards)
- - Math coprocessor error
-
- If any of these occur, run your computer manufacturer's system
- diagnostic utilities.
-
- Setup Fails with SCSI Read Request Error
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Question:
-
- Why do I get the following error during Windows NT Setup:
-
- SCSI read request failed Arc status 8 Srb status 0084
-
- Answer:
-
- AutoCheck is unable to resolve file system or FAT problems on the
- drive. Run a diagnostic utility such as CHKDSK on the file system and
- fix any problems you find. Afterwards, reinstall Windows NT.
-
- LogErrorEntry Error (UniqueId=300)
- ----------------------------------
-
- Question:
-
- What should I do about a LogErrorEntry error with UniqueId 300?
-
- Answer:
-
- If you receive the following error during the installation of Windows
- NT on a machine with an Adaptec 1542b card, remove the BUSLOGIC.SYS
- file from the Setup disk and reinstall.
-
- LogErrorEntry: logging SCSI error packet. ErrorCode=Internal
- adapter error. PathId=0,TargetID=0,Lun=0,UniqueId=300.
