[Sierra54]

Noticed crashes with brief blue screen a day or 2 after installing the router. It seems to work fine. I was able to access internet with desktop hard wired to it as soon as I installed it. I have netbook able to access internet. Created a network and am able to access desktop and external hard drive folders with netbook.

I did online chat with Linksys tech support. I copied them on the errors and they said the problem was with my system. Although I have no idea what the errors I posted really mean. Tried to google search the errors but I'm afraid to brick my OS tinkering with DCOM Config within component services. Any suggestions.

As a last resort I was considering wiping the HD and reinstalling XP pro. But I'm hesitant to do this as I made a slipstream copy of xp and don't want another headache messing with that if I did that wrong.

Thank you again for the help.

Go to

Start and then to Run
Type in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /
Click Enter ...It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note... there are 5 stages...
It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS
This can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixes the problem

Completed Chkdsk /r and something was found and a report was sent to microsoft. Not sure how to open or view the .dmp file or *sysdata.xml file that was created. Reinstalled the router and crashed shortly there after. Not sure where to go from here.

Go Start and then to Run ("Start Search" in Vista),
Type in: sfc /scannow
Click OK (Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) finds any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD.
If sfc does not find any errors in Windows XP, it will simply quit, without any message.
In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

For Vista users ONLY: Navigate to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder. You'll see CBS.log file.
Usually, it's pretty big file, so upload it to Flyupload, and post download link.


If you don't have Windows CD....
This applies mostly to Windows XP, since Vista rarely requires use of its DVD while running "sfc"
Note This method will not necessarily work as well, as when using Windows CD, because not always ALL system files are backed up on your hard drive. Also, backed up files may be corrupted as well.

Go Start and then Run
type in regedit and click OK


Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

You will see various entries Values on the right hand side.

The one we want is called: SourcePath

It probably has an entry pointing to your CD-ROM drive, usually D and that is why it is asking for the XP CD.
All we need to do is change it to: C:
Now, double click the SourcePatch setting and a new box will pop up.
Change the drive letter from your CD drive to your root drive, usually C:
Close Registry Editor.

Now restart your computer and try sfc /scannow again!


Thanks to Broni for the instructions

[Sierra54]

Tried to run sfc /scannow for xp. It asked for the xp disk and I inserted my slipstreamed copy. Clicked retry and same window popped up. States"Files that are required for windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache. Insert your Windows XP Professional cd-ROM now.

I also tried to use regedit so it would look on the C: drive instead of the disk. After changing it to the C drive which is my hard drive, it continues to ask for the Windows XP disk. I did restart after changing to C drive.

I can continualy click retry and the progress bar moved a little before another retry pop up comes up.

I can insert the slipstreamed copy of Windows XP Pro into the cd drive and the installation screen pops up. This gives me a few options of things I can do..
Install xp
Learn more about set up process
Install optional windows components
Perform additional tasks
check system compatibility.

Not sure what to do now.

[rshaffer61]

It is normal if it finds errors to keep asking for the cdrom. You may click retry 40 times for it to get completely through everything.
The other option is it just can't read the location correctly and it needs a Genuine Installation disk and not a burned copy.

[Sierra54]

I think sfc /scannow completed. As before "It asked for the xp disk and I inserted my slipstreamed copy. Clicked retry and same window popped up. States"Files that are required for windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache. Insert your Windows XP Professional cd-ROM now." I just kept hitting retry, well over 200 times, until the progress bar made it to 100%. After that the window closed and nothing happened. Is there a way to check to see if it did what it was supposed to? Also, should I go back into regedit and change the SourcePath back to D:/?

I checked event viewer and saw this:

Anything else I should do before trying the router?
Update drivers? Re-run sfc /scannow?

Thanks again.
