Stop 0x000000F4 BSOD during harddrive usage

[Zelius]

For some odd reason I get this BSOD whenever I try to defrag a certain partition on my harddrive. This also occurs when I try to use CHKDSK on the partition. Also, whenever I try to burn a CD or DVD with any files on that partition (it's my media partition), I get a KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR BSOD. I don't know if the two are related or not.

As I said, defrag and chkdsk fail to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be the FAT or MFT got corrupted...have you ever been able to successfully run CHKDSK or DEFRAG on that partition?

Can you hook the drive up as slave in a friends computer and check it from there; or load Windows to a different drive in your machine and check "suspect" drive/partition?

If chkdsk doesn't turn up any problems:
Get yourself a copy of Everest and install it. Under the program's Storage section, select SMART. Find the drive in the listing and click on it. Is anything listed as failing? If not, right click on it, select Copy, and paste the results back here, I'll have a look. If I don't check back on this thread in a day or so, send me a Private Message or something to remind me.

You might have a bad block on your hard disk.
