Question

I recently had to install the operating system CD on my Inspiron 910.  Now when I turn my computer on I recieve a message  file nvrd32.sys could not be found.  I have reinstalled the driver CD but I continue to recieve this error message.  What is this and how do I correct it.

You will need FDISK and Format  etc. Theres a patch to win9x Fdisk for drives bigger than 64 gigs. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263044 You will need Fdisk and Format and Himem.sys and emm386.exe and smartdrv.exe and xcopy.exe and xcopy.mod etc. You  make a bootable flash key with Fdisk and format with config.sys having Device=Himem.sys Then Fdisk and format the C: drive. then   xcopy the xp cd contents onto the hard drive. Once this is done you have a bootable C: Make sure that Himem.sys gets lodaed for the config.sys on the C: drive Then Boot C: with Win9X dos. Then Run Smartdrv.exe then run smartdrv.exe  /X Then goto C: under I386  and run WINNT.EXE /S:C:\I386 /T:C:\ It will then 'install' xp It would be a GOOD IDEA to have copied the C:\DELL and C:\DRIVERS directorys onto the flash drive before trying this as you will need the software stored in those directories When XP is fully installed you can remove the WIN9X dos by converting c: to NTFS with CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS  During the initial black screen of  Windows is detecting hardware you will have to hit F6 and have a floppy diskette or location on C:\ where the NVIDIA storage/chipset drivers are.
