XP reinstall gives "File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe The error code is 7.
Working with a Dimension 8400 with XP Home. BIOS A03
We encountered a blue screen condition in which we could not boot in normal, mode or safe mode. Each produced the blue screen.
We tried a Repair install of XP, and that failed with the message:
"File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 7."
We then replaced the RAM with new RAM sticks and the reinstall produced the same message.
We then replaced the hard drive... and with a blank hard drive... AND... new ram we are still getting the same message when we try to reinstall.
Any ideas on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I considered the CD drive, but before we started replacing ram and the HD we use a utility on a Symantec Ghost CD to browse the drive and copy all files and folders off the old hard drive. This all ran fine... so the CD appears to be in good order.
