SYMPTOMS
A computer running Windows NT 4.0 may fail with the following stop message:

STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}



CAUSE
MoveFileEx using the MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag appears to corrupt the registry on Windows NT 4.0 after a certain unknown number of calls. Attempting to reboot in this situation fails, and the Windows NT 4.0 Emergency Repair Disk is required to recover from the failure.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0.

This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
