System Error Code 100 to Code 199 in Windows

[Rashid]

I am regular user of Linux and I have never used Windows until now my job needed me to use it. I have started using Windows and have no problem till now. I was studying its features and troubleshooting guide which my friend lent me. The troubleshooting guide was very old and had some pages missing. I reached over to a section where all the common errors of the Windows were described. The page which had description of error code 100 to error code 199 was missing. Can anyone provide me with details of these errors?
