I was formatting a new drive on a new computer and at the end I got this message.


A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screan appears again, follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk, defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive config and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0X00000024 (0X001902FA, 0XF7CC65F4, 0XF7CC624F4, 0XF749EAEE)

*** ntfs.sys - Address F749EAEE base at F747B000, DateStamp 3d6de5c1.


I rebooted and got this message.

NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrlalt delete to restart.

What the hell does this mean?
 
Seems like your hard drive might be going bad or have some bad sectors on it. Try to run a scandisk with a full surface scan. See if that clears it up.

I was having problems the other day. It said "windows cannot format this drive".

I ran it through SpinRite from grc.com and then it worked great. Spinrite is like scandisk on crack.
 
I had the same problem, do a complete power shutdown, then make sure all your cables (especially the SATA one are connected good). Now restart and it should work. If that still doesn't work, reinstall windows, DONE.
 
Just used a Windows XP SP2 disk and I got past the fragment to the copying files part and now it stopped moving at 51%.

Says Copying: per_nav.swf at the bottom.
 
When installing just 1 SATA drive you don't need to install the drivers that come on a floppy with the mobo do you? Thats only for RAID right?
 
Sometimes you do. Sometimes you don't. Depends on your SATA controller.

I do just for my IDE controller that is secondary. And even then, windows still doesn't recognize it for some stupid reason. I can only install windows off the primary IDE from the northbridge of my motherboard.
 
there also might be a problem with your windows disk if there is a scratch the install could freeze......i've had that happen a couple of times as for ntdlr if thats missing the windows install is screwed its what starts the kernel
