    Hello,
    I have a CF-19 FHGAXAM running XP that hangs on XP splash screen. I think the MB record is corrupt, not sure. Cant even get into safemode, it hangs on mup.sys.
    I tried to get into the recovery console to run the fix but there is a password and it is not known. I then tried to run the XP repair off the CD and it blue screens during the hardware set up. I did have to load the SATA driver at F6.
    This is a friends laptop that he has special software to diagnose outboard motors and Id rather not wipe this machine out.

    These Toughbooks seem like hardware nightmares...

    Any sugestions would be great!!! Please :)

    Try a google search for mup.sys. Many people have similar problems and have posted many solutions. Most of the time it seems that mup.sys is not the problem. The problem lies with some piece of hardware.
