Re: Cannot Boot From Windows XP CD

Peggy

Please post a copy of the Stop Error report?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing the F8
key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on
system failure. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure.

Try Last Known Good Configuration?

0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the
system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a
physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) may
be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive
fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of
drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running
ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters
such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities. Check
the file properties of NTFS.SYS to ensure it matches the current OS or
SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or removable device
drivers to the most current versions.

You may be able to access and recover the data on the drive by placing the drive in an external cradle and connecting to a working computer.

I have a PC that suddenly started getting the BSOD with an stop code
of 0x00000024. I booted into the utilities partition (this is a Dell
Dimension E520 desktop) and ran the utility set associated with blue
screen problems. This checked memory and hard drive but found no
errors. I wanted to try running chkdsk to try to find and fix any
hard drive issues (as recommended in the BSOD error message), so, I
tried booting with the Windows XP CD. It loads files and then gives
the message "starting windows", but then immediately gets another
BSOD, this time with a stop code of 0x0000007B.

Any thoughts? If I can't even get it to boot from the CD, it's going
to make it much more challenging to do anything to fix this problem.

Thanks.
