In need of urgent help please!..

Hey

I am using a dell inspiron mini 10 notebook.

It has been working fine until last week. Whenever i try and boot the system up, it freezes on a blue screen with the error.... 'PAGE_FAULT_ON_NONPAGED_AREA'.... it has also come up with a different error name the numerous times i have tried to reboot.

I thought i would try and boot the system in safe mode. When it came to the screen of options on how to start up my system, i chose 'safe mode'.
However, my screen freezes right after Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WDFLDR.SYS

So basically i cannot get windows to start up in normal or safe mode, and i have tried adjusting a few settings in setup. It either freezes on the blue screen, or the file screen right after selecting safe mode.

Anyway, i decided to buy an external cd drive, and to use the system restore cd to restore the notebook to factory settings. However, i believe this is not possible? as i need to get onto windows to install the driver on the system. Or is there a key to press to auto boot from external drive?

I am stuck, i don't know how to resolve this issue and i've searched all over the internet.

If anyone can help me in anyway, please do, it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

Does the BIOS not have an option to boot from CD as 1st option, and then drive?

It looks like that your drive is failing itself. Time for a new drive?

cheers ...

The external drive is brand new, and as far as i can see, there is no option in the BIOS to boot from CD as 1st option...

thanks for the reply anyway.

Is there option to boot from CD or Super Drive at all? qhn was talking about your HDD being the problem not your external optical. His guess that it is the HDD is as good as any but early to be sure. What does appear to be for certain is the Windows Driver Framework Library (WDFLDR) file is corrupt. It is supposed to loaded into RAM when it is not found or does not checkout (corrupt) it pages out and can't find it either. It could be hardware/HDD because that can corrupt a file. But other things can also.

Try again start up with Super Drive support and see if you can repair. If not possible for what ever reason the next simple step is a OS reinstall. HDD is not the only likely cause if and when you get up and running check disc health. AV can cause this. Any updates installations you did around the time of this could of corrupted the file.

I assume you are not connected to anything when you tried to start up other than external drive? What OS? Does not really matter but curious.
