Error Message in Windows XP- “ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY”

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is a free update of Windows XP provided by Microsoft. Two main features added in XP2 are security updates and hotfix solutions. To take benefit of these updates, most of the users upgrade their XP based system to Windows XP SP2. Despite the fact that XP2 provides additional features, the installation of XP2 might result into a STOP error message. Once the STOP error message appears, the data stored in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. In such data loss scenarios, an ideal solution is to restore the data from an up-to-date backup. But, in case of unavailability of an up-to-date backup, you need to use advanced data recovery application.

As a practical case, you upgrade your XP based system to Windows XP SP2. Once the upgradation is complete and you restart your system, the Mpegport.sys driver tries to run from a memory location that is monitored by DEP (Data Execution Prevention). You encounter the below STOP error message:

“0x000000FC (ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY)”

The above error message results in unbootable hard drive making all the data saved in hard drive inaccessible. In addition, the same error message appears every time you attempt to boot your system.

Cause:

Two primary reasons for the above error message are:

* The system includes a legacy hardware DVD decoder that needs the Mpegport.sys driver.
* You installed the 32-bit version of Windows XP SP2 on a system that supports hardware-enforced DEP.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the data saved on the hard drive, you will need to contact the driver vendor for an updated version of the driver without the incompatibility problem. If an updated version of the driver is available, the driver can be installed in Safe Mode.

However, if an updated version of the driver is not available, the best option is to go for clean reinstall of Windows XP. A fresh reinstall of Windows XP will completely erase all the data from the selected hard drive partition. To systematically recover your data in such situations, you will need to use powerful data recovery software. These data recovery tools use high-end scanning mechanisms to recover lost data from a formatted hard drive. Built with graphical user-interface, automated recovery procedure and advanced features, these data recovery tools serve as easy-to-understand and recovery centric tools.

Error Message in Windows XP- “BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER (fe)”

External hard drives attached to your computer help you to increase the storage capacity of your system. While storage devices provide you large storage space, they might also result into a STOP error message under heavy stress conditions. One of the major outcomes that you might encounter after the error message is inaccessibility of data saved in the storage media. To overcome such data loss situations, you will need to restore the data from an up-to-date backup. However, in case of absence of an up-to-date backup, data recovery software comes to rescue.

As a practical case, you receive any of the below error messages when you use USB 2.0 hard disks under heavy stress situations in Windows XP operating system:

“STOP 0x000000FE(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER”

Or

“BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER (fe)”

In a USB Driver bugcheck, the first parameter is a USB bugcheck code that has the below arguments:

* Argument 1: 00000002, BAD_URB. The USB client driver has submitted a USB Request Block (URB) that is still attached to another Input/Output (I/O) request packet (IRP) that is still pending in the USB driver.
* Argument 2: 8162ea78, Address of the pending IRP.
* Argument 3: 81707950, Address of the IRP that is passed in.
* Argument 4: 8156db7c, Address of the URB that caused the error.

Data stored on the hard drive becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears on you computer. In addition, you receive the 0xFE message each time you try to boot your system.

Cause:

The above error messages primarily occur because in the NT Kernel two threads try to start an I/O operation on the same packet.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error messages and access the data, you need to follow these steps:

Install the latest service pack for Microsoft Windows XP.

1. Apply the Hotfix solution provided by Microsoft.
2. Restart your system

However, if any of the error messages appear even after applying the Hotfix solution, then you need to reinstall Windows XP. A fresh reinstall of Windows XP will completely erase the data from the selected hard drive partition. For complete recovery of data in such circumstances, you need to go for advanced data recovery software. These data recovery utilities employ high end scanning mechanisms to recover lost data. Built with highly interactive user-interface, automated recovery procedure and advanced features, these data recovery tools
serve as precise and recovery centric tools.
