Running WinXP Pro, I have a couple of 80gig EIDE drives attached to an oboard HPT 374 raid controller, but they are not in a RAID, just using them as additional EIDE headers.
Basically on one of those disks, I get a stop 24 error and prompting about a ntfs.sys address. I've chkdsk /f and /r. I've run exhaustive memory tests. Ghosted the drive, re-formatted it, loaded the image back. Everything I can think of. Nothing picks up any faults, and I'm really confused as to what the problem is.
If the ntfs.sys is corrupt, surely it would be so as a whole, but the system runs perfect apart from when I try in write into the last 20gig of this drive. I'm also up to date on bios, and have double checked the drivers for the drives.
Totally bewildered.
Any thoughts? |

only thing I can suggest is either
1) try it in the same machine but a different interface
2) try it in a different machine
if you still get the same problem then it is definately a problem on the drive, if it is ok in a different machine, try getting new drivers, as that is the most likely culprit if it is not a faulty drive |
