DJW Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ok so I got a Dell XP Pro installation key and all went well until it went into booting stage and I got the nvrd32.sys message which I have tried several work arounds with no success. I read several items about the nvrd32.sys message but have not found one the I completely understand? Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Go here and do the repair with your XP Pro disk: https://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-xp-vista/how-to-scan-and-repair-windows-using-system-file-checker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJW Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 RV thanks for the link. I ran the scannow function twice and it still gets hung up in the boot setup telling me that nvrd32.sys is missing. So the SFC did not fix the problem. I can still start the mini with XP when in the boot function it asks which operation system to use XP Home or XP Pro and when I choose the XP Pro version is when it stops and says the nvrd32.sys file is missing? If I select the XP Home it boots right up. I am guessing the hang up is in the XP Pro Setup function and cannot find the missing file?
