Fix the classpnp.sys problem, Windows 7 SSD macbook

After I did a lot pressure on CPU performance testing, My windows 7 64 bit [macbook, OCZ SSD, 64 bit ultimate edition]become no responding at all. then I just hold the power key and force a reboot. Sadly enough, it even can’t boot up. Press F8 to try the safemode, no Luck . Get an error like this,  one system driver can’t be loaded. Always, It means the file is corrupt and All you need to fix is find a way to replace the file.

Here is How-to, It is proved to work great on my Macbook win 7 74 bit.

1. Copy the Classpnp.sys file from another PC to an external hd or USB drive. PLEASE Note, 32 bit /64 bit system differs. Make sure you get the same version as you OS.
2. Insert one windows DVD to the dvdrom, try boot with the DVD, to setup a New OS (don’t click to go further, all we need is just a command promot that we can copy the file from USB to your Primary HD), For MACbook, Hold and Press “C” to initial the setup.
3. after the setup GUI is loaded, Run “Shift + F10” to Bring a Command Prompt, this feature has been in the Windows setup GUI since win 2000. So for step 2, inserting any version of windows is fine.

1. Copy the file from your backup drive to \windows\system32\drivers\classPNP.sys
2. remove the DVD and external HD, restart the PC
3. if you get a hint to Repair the PC, forget it. Not make any sense here. until now, all will be fixed.
