    My XP unit has an intermittent rebooting problem. I've ran memtest86+ over night with no known errors. I installed a power supply and applied fresh thermo compound grease. CPU temperature is 36C. I ran the Seagate and Windows XP drive diags with no known errors.

    When I attempt to install XP with autostreamer I receive the "fault in non paged area message." The message partition is full or damaged also is displayed. I understand the error could relate to serious RAM or harddrive issues.

    I ran system restore back to March 4, 2007 and have the issue.

    I ran the system in safe mode for about 30 minutes and all appeared to be fine. As I was typing this post the system rebooted and I'm know in safe mode. Any thoughts?
    Thank you

    It sounds like you are running low on free space. How much is available?

    The drive is a new 250 GB with 230 GB free. I'm in safe mode now and the unit is running fine.When I attempt to install XP I do get to the NTFS screen when it asks if you want to do a quick or full format. The error pops up about minute after this screen. I could choose the full option, but don't know if the unit will kick out the same error. then I'm dead in the water. I know safe mode uses less resources and perhaps the system is not using the resources in safe mode as in regular mode sand I'm not getting the error.
    Thank you

    Problem solved! As careful as I was tie wrapping the cables, the primary IDE cable was rubbing against the fan and damaged pin one of the cable. Actually, the cable seperated. The calbe was causing the error message, which does indeed point to the hard drive.
    Thank to all!
