Guest christine Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 when I try to do a clean XP installation on my hdd, after accepting the F8, somewhere along the line I get this error "DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS". The hdd is an old one but I reformat it before the installation. Any idea what is wrong with it? Thanks
Guest Gerry Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS Christine New Stop Error to me: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms797129.aspx Why are you trying a new clean installation of XP? How is your Windows XP CD described on the face of theCD? Doesn't the error message name the driver? -- Hope this helps.

Guest christine Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS The original OS is not win XP. The problem been resolved because of the failure of the cd rom drive. After changing the cd rom drive, the installation was able to complete and I was able to the WU/activate. After that However, discovered that in order to boot up, the XP cd must be inside the cd rom driver, otherwise it will not boot up, even though the first boot is hd. It will only boot up with the xp inside and not hitting any key when asked. Why is that the xp cd must be inside even when first boot is hdd? Any idea to resolve the issue is much appreciated as it driving us nuts, thanks "Gerry" wrote: > Christine > > New Stop Error to me: > http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms797129.aspx > > Why are you trying a new clean installation of XP? > > How is your Windows XP CD described on the face of theCD?

Guest Gerry Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS Christine How do you know this "when first boot is hdd"? Have you made changes in the BIOS? The hard drive is normally second or third in the boot sequence after the floppy and or the CD drive. Try Start, Run, type msconfig and hit ENTER. Copy the details of what appears in the boot.ini tab and post the information here. What was the original OS? How is your Windows XP CD described on the face of the CD? -- Hope this helps.

Guest christine Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS Bios set to 1st boot as Atapi cd rom, then hdd and also try to set as hdd, cd rom.- all give the same message.

Guest christine Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS Problem resolved through some settings in the bios. However another problem crop up even before I settle the boot problem. Now, when I shut down the pc start>turn off >turn off, the pc will shut down but it will immediately restart and back up to desktop. I dont remember making changes other than those to solve the boot problem. How can I stop the pc from rebooting by itself.
