Boot from your XP cd into recovery console, logon to your XP installation (admin password required), go to Windows\System32\Drivers folder and rename/delete Daemon Tools driver files (default names d347bus.sys and d347prt.sys).
Also check if you've minidump related to that crash, if so send newest file to support@daemon-tools.cc with reference to this thread.

1. Boot from cd,
2. let it load, press R when setup welcomes you,
3. enter the number of the installation you want to logon (usually 1),
4. enter admin password,
5. go to Windows\System32\Drivers folder by using cd command,
6. delete/rename d347bus.sys and d347prt.sys,
7. type exit to reboot.

ok im stuck on step 3 to the end, can u gimme the exact codes ill need, cuz im just stupid.....

[Copytrooper]

Huh? There should be a dialog like "Enter the number of the XP installation you want to logon" or similar - enter that numer (e.g. 1), then it should ask for admin password, which you should actually know by yourself - at least we wouldn't know it.

ok well waht happens is it says boot frm cd press key i press that key, i let it load it says press enter to contineue or sumthing and r to repair recovery console, i was pressing r there, or should i have been posting enter?

my aim is mentalbakup btw if u wanna contact me........ to help

[Copytrooper]

Of course R is correct, so you pressed R (point 2) and it should start the Recovery console, where you should select the installation (point 3)? At least that's what it did on my computer last time I tried it.

ok i press a key to boot from cd this blue screen comes up





ok from here i press r this is what comes up next

[Copytrooper]

Ok, seems for recovery console does not ask for admin password?
So you're at c:\ prompt, then enter cd windows\system32\drivers, delete/rename mentioned driver files, and enter exit to reboot.

[anarchyway]

umm when i type in windows\system32\drivers it says its unknown, i know that i installed it in my e drive and not my c could that be effecting it also

delete/rename mentioned driver files? what exactly do i type confused, yes i know im pathetic, but i will bow down to u if u fix this for me

[Copytrooper]

You must type "cd windows\system32\drivers"!
If your installation is on your e: drive type "e:" first to change the partition.
