hello.
i am receiving an error message during boot up that says my install has a corrupt or missing ntfs.sys file. how do i go about fixing this?
 
If you can still boot run SFC from the command prompt it will scan for missing system files and replace them you might meed the win cd.
 
If you can boot using an NT bootdisk, check the c:\winnt\system32\drivers folder for ntfs.sys. If it's actually missing or corrupt, copy it to a diskette from a good working machine to this machine.
 
Yesterday I had three NT4.0 Workstations go down with the same error 'Corrupt or missing: Windows\system32\ntfs.sys'. Today, I had an additional four follow suit. Anyone have any suggestions? Known viruses? Bugs in the server?
 
Let me add to my last submission that I had to re-image each system using our standard GHOST v6.5 image for that particular system (Dell GX110 - NT40 sp5). I'm afraid tomorrow there might be more. Our Virus scanner hasn't found anything out of the norm.
