stop 0x0000024 BSOD

[QueBert]

ok, I put a new HD in, cloned my XP partition, copied files from the other, didn't clone Vista. reinstalled Vista, booted up and got a "file is corrupt and unreadable" when I tried to download Firefox. Same problem I was getting on my other HD. I'm having zero problems with my XP right now, but when I boot into Vista (64 bit) I get the file is corrupt" and when I reboot it runs chkdsk with the 5 level scan, it always files a ton of orphaned files and deletes some others. It's frustrating because in XP I'm not seeing problems. The HD is IDE and my MB only has a single IDE channel so I can't try another channel, I am thinkin about buying a IDE->SATA converter and trying that.

Maybe my MB is bad, but if that was the case I'm not sure why XP seems to work flawlessly and Vista doesn't. This is about the 4th time I've reinstalled it.

any ideas?

You're using the in-box drivers that come with Vista, not from a motherboard CD or a driver download from the internet?

dclive - both, 2 of the installs was nothing but what Vista put on, 2 times I installed the Intel p35 INF drivers, every time I still get the corrupt thing popping up. Since 2 HD's have done this and 2 IDE cables, and my XP doesn't have any issues coming up. I'm kind of over Vista unless you have a good idea, or any idea for something I could try.

I can't explain that --- if Vista has a problem, XP should have the same problem, particularly with the right (fulll-usage) XP drivers in place, for something like a disk drive.

I think it's the version of vista you're using.

exactly dclive, it's perplexing and I've spent weeks with it, at this point I have no option but to give up. Well, I will try an IDE to SATA cable for shits and giggles. Odd how I wasn't having these corrupt problems 2 weeks ago, I was having tons of BSOD's, now this. Well I might have had those before but it was BSOD'ing before it had a chance to corrupt.

How so?

 

[dclive]

C'mon - what does the version of Vista have to do with anything?

 

[QueBert]

the version has nothing to do with it for shits and giggled I wiped Vista and reinstalled it one last time today. got the same errors, rebooted and chkdsk said some crap about MBR (or was it MFT) bitmap error or something. I'm done with Vista as long as I own this PC
