OK, this is listed on the main page as a FAQ, but with no answer... When I try to boot using the CD, I get the message, "The file nfrd960.sys could not be found." I checked the cd--it's in the system32\drivers directory.

From what I've been able to find out, it's an IBM RAID controller. I'm not using RAID (though I DO have an SATA HD, and often they get lumped together in error messages, etc).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ric

nfrd960.sys

Try removing the plugin which contains the above plugin file in the IBM folder.

ServeRaid_XP and ServeRaid_2k3

Rebuild the ubcd4win and see if it will boot then.

Please post back your results.

Thanks.

Thanks! I'm going out of town this afternoon, but I will try it as soon as I get back and let you know if it works.

I appreciate the VERY quick response!

If corn oil comes from corn, and olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

Did you search the forum for an answer?

Here is a post:

Basically it's either a bad build or you need to copy your XP CD to your hard drive and have PE Builder use that as the "source".

It's kinda cool to see what Stidy said 2 months ago compared to what he suggested today

Yes, I would like to know this as well, since I haven't heard any other errors yet with this file. If there is a problem, I may need to fix the drivers add-on. Thanks.

Guys... honest--I did a search on nfrd960.sys, but nothing was returned. Now I know why, though... I assumed that if you didn't pick an area to search, it would search everything. ooops.... sorry.

Anyway, I did copy the CD to a hard disk folder, then integrated SP2. (to the HD, not to a CD) I didn't use Autostreamer, since it wasn't available for download--just used the /integrate mentioned in the instructions. And as I put in the post, the file IS present in the drivers directory of the CD.

I used PE Builder v3.13, not v3.14 (the beta mentioned in the quoted post), so that's not the reason.

The ONLY thing I can think of is that I used PEBuilder to burn the CD, rather than Nero/Roxio/etc, only because the machine I used didn't have either of those on it. I'd have had to take the ISO, burn the ISO to a CD using XPs capabilities, then take it to ANOTHER machine with Nero, then use Nero to burn the ISO to a disc--too much hassle and it would have taken a while, since the two computers in question are about 10 mins apart!

I'll try the plugin removal, and in the process that means I might as well do a complete rebuild. Again, all of this will have to be next weekend, since I'm away from my computer this week.

Hey, it'll all be worth it if I can only get my machine workin' again!

Thanks,
Ric

I've received mixed reports from users on the now "built in" capability in BPE. Many users have said it didn't work, while there are a few that said their CD was fine. As for slipstreaming, did you use the commandline that is on the site under manual slipstreaming?

The reason why I went with removing the IBM plugin was the fact he has a SATA drive, so I guessed that the IBM plugin was conflicting with the SATA controller.

I'd completely forget about my previous post on the matter....................

Well, seems the disc rebuild solved the problem. I tried to remove that plug-in... but it wasn't even on the list--strange.

I think my problem resulted from the computer where I first started the process was a Win2K machine where I didn't have admin rights. Or even power user rights. I didn't get any errors, but without admin rights I couldn't finish everything. I guess it turns out all I could do was build a coaster.

Once I (re)built the disc, booted up, and UBCCD4W could see my errant drive--or at least the directories. I couldn't get ANY of the utilities to do any good for me. I was about to toss the whole disc and start over. THEN I realized that I hadn't put any SATA drivers in during the startup. Sure enough, once I did the "F6 dance" and used the SATA driver disc, it worked like a champ! I ran one of the disc diagnostics, found the corrupted file, renamed it, and Windows booted.

".... and there was much rejoicing....."

Thanks for the help in getting this disc built. This CD will now be a permanent part of my computer first aid toolkit!

Oh... one more thing, just for feedback purposes.

I used AutoStreamer and it worked fine, including burning the CD. I now have a slipstreamed SP2 WinXP disc. Ditto for PE Builder's disc builder--since the machine I was using didn't have Nero/Roxio/whatever due to a recent upgrade to XP, I used the built-in. And the disc works fine.
