I have a hombre on the network that decided to dual boot his "toy machine" on his break. Well now he is receiving a nice error message that: xmnt2002 not found skipping autocheck. I know that the problem is related to him using Partition Magic 8.0 to resize his NTFS/2000 Pro drive to make room for his 98 partition. A BIG NO-NO! I need to know how to remove the error message. If I boot to 98 it does not appear, boot to 2000 and there it is.

Thanks mapleleaf-this worked for XP Pro. This problem has been bothering me for a number of months. The only difference I noticed is that I have a blank black screen in place of the blue screen that displayed that annoying message. I would estimate that the black screen stays around for about the same time that the annoying blue screen did though I didn't time the blue screen. Has anyone else noticed this????????Tony
 
I have a problem like Legba42 - when I boot, right before the XP Pro login screen should appear, a blue screen appears saying:
"xmnt2002 program not found - skipping Autocheck"
"autochk program not found - skipping Autocheck"
and then it reboots.

Except, I don't have Linux on another partition, so I can't access the fdisk tools there. Apparently (based on this forum), I need to change the WinXP partition from NTFS to NTFS(17). How do I do that if I can't get into any OS?
 
Hello.

For those of you using Linux - it is very VERY difficult to mount a NTFS drive, and even if you do mount it editing it is very dangerous. You might end up reformatting the other partition.

I encountered the same problem as Vedace - there were no options from linux because NTFS is not really editable safely.

What I did was I overwrote one of my partitions with Windows 2000, then went in and unhid my first NTFS partition, then I modified the registry, and booted.
 
Hi,

Just found this thread as I googled xmnt2001. I got the same eror with W2k pro after resizing a partition accross the 128G barrier with PM7. PM.reg solved it. Thanks.

can someone post the
pm.reg file again?
the link doesnt work anymore

thx in advance
 
I was also seeing the "XMNT2002 not found, skipping AUTOCHECK" message. (I run XP Pro)

By changing the registry file to read "autocheck autochk *" I seem to be cancelling the execution of autocheck which was specified by PM8... Each time I use PM8 again, it reappears!

My system appears to be working fine, but PM8 can't seem to finalize any changes during restart.

I also have a second, more devastating issue:

Basically I need to recover a 50gb partition which now appears as Unformatted space. I need to recover the partition to it's original location, not clone the partition to somewhere else, or copy the files, because I don't have enough free space anywhere else.
 
I used acronis partitionexpert in stead of PM, no errors anymore..

 
xmnt2002 not found skipping autocheck"
"autochk not found skipping autocheck"
i have the same problem as many other members the only difference i cannot start the system, i see that it can be fix on regedit but i cannot get in, the computer boots go to the error and go back to boot, is like in a loop stay like this over over over
any help please urgent
 
Has anyone of you "great helpers" EVER thought about ISOLATING xmnt2002.exe and posting it for the public?

@Mapleleaf, I think your registry method is like casting out the demons by the ruler of the demons, and will result into nothing.
Remember, people want to do CHANGES with their systems.
And you **must** get this application to *do* changes in Win2K.
(Trust me.)

Even though this might lead to a ban on this forum, I'll risk this and post it for DOWNLOAD. This might help hundreds of people.
This problem is just a barrier that PQ has built in for trial users. On the full version, xmnt2002 does exist. On the trial, it's temporarily extracted (i. e. into the TEMP folder) but *instantly* deleted. You thus must be clever and isolate the file before it gets deleted.

Instructions:

- Either get some PIRATED version from the net or try to find it on the original CD
- Look into the folder Setup
- Open PMagic.cab
- Extract XMNT2002.exe - voilà!

OR:

get it here!

 
Hi,

My version of the XMNT2002.exe problem:

I installed Mandrake Linux next to Windows XP Pro that was originally on the system.
I made the Linux partitions with PM 8.0 under Windows XP.
Now I have the same well known blue screen.

I tried to rename the file XMNT2002.exe but I don't have access to it. I tried to 'chmod' it when I logged in as root, but that won't work. Only the creator of the file (administrator under Windows XP) can change these permissions :-(.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thx in advance!

Hi,

I've found the UBCD software, but now raises another question: How can I make a bootable cd under Mandrake Linux? I have to download some other tools, but they are all Windows applications, so they can't run with Linux :-(
I can't make the ISO that is necessary for the bootable cd...

Maybe there are still other ways to edit the Windows registry from Linux?

Thanks,

Hi,

I downloaded an exe-file from the UBCD-site. How can I make it an ISO-file?
Sorry, I am an newbie :s

Thanks!
 
You are right, creating the original ISO would be a problem under just Linux.

You would need access to a working Windows machine with a CD burner. The entire process should take less than 20 minutes.

In the alternative:
This still would require a working Windows system.

. Have you checked your version of PM to see if there is a revert tool?
. if you have more than one partition, consider using a parallel installation of XP on the second partition. You can then load the registry hive from the first partition through regedit and make changes.
 
Hi,

It worked to make the Ultimate Boot CD, but when I run it, it shows me the following message:"No copy of Windows found". So I can't access the registry. There are some other registry applications on the CD, but they run some kind of 'stand alone registry'. The variable BootEXEC is empty, so I can't replace anything in there...

I couldn't make a recovery disk for PM because all this is running on my laptop which doesn't have a floppy drive.

I hope somebody can help me out here, just need a way to access my Windows XP registry...

Thanks for all the efforts!

Hi,

I've reread this forumpage and I found this post:
"mapleleaf (MIS) Jun 27, 2003
legba42,

Can you see the XP partition from Linux. If so, look for the XMNT2002.exe and rename it, along with any PQ_*.* files that are in %systemroot%\temp

Ian"

I can access my files with DOS (Recovery function Windows XP CD), but what does mean mapleleaf by 'renaming'? Don't the files have to be in the %systemroot%\temp for PM to find them there?

Thx
