I have a 40gb hard drive here which i have loads of stuff as my storage drive. I got another computer, and wanted to put this hard drive in it, so i put it in and installed Windows XP Pro on the same NTFS partition as i formatted it as in my old Windows XP computer. I got Win installed on it, and then last night the computer crashed. I reset it, and it seemed to be OK, but when i got up this morning i was greeted by a nice BSOD. 🙁 So, i reset the computer, and when it gets to the WinXP splash screen with the moving bars at the bottom, the same message came up.

Here's the 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've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

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

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902, 0xFBC4B814, 0xFBC4B514, 0xFB6C6A4E)

*** Ntfs.sys - Address FB6C6A4E base at FBC1000, Datestamp 3c587aa0
Click to expand...

I have also put this hard drive as a slave in another computer and when it gets to the WinXP splash screen with the moving bars at the bottom on this different computer the same happens. 🙁

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how i can fix this and get the info back off this hard drive?

Thanks in advance

I have no advice on how to fix your XP problem but it sounds like you have a corrupted hard drive. Did you follow the advice and run CHKDSK /F on the C: drive? If you have a DOS boot disk you can boot up with it and then run CHKDSK /F on the C: drive.

Remember if you do not add the /F it will not fix anything on your hard drive.

If you have Symantec Norton Utilities 2002 (Norton System Works 2002) you can check out the hard drive from its Emergency boot floppy disk.

I use my old emergency boot disk I created with Windows ME. Note that I chose to use FAT32 with my XP installation. If you use NTFS then the old DOS boot disks won't work for you. Why I am not using NTFS.


 
I am using NTFS, so no Win9x boot disks. Would the Norton Utilities thing be able to work on the NTFS system? I think my mum's boss has it so i can ask him for the floppy disks...and need to borrow a floppy off a mate (i've not got a working one, all comps here boot from CD!)

Thanks for the quick response 🙂
