a filesystem causing a bsod (paged fault in a non-paged area)

(1/2) > >>

Hi

A volume on the HDD pulled from a computer causes the computers to crash when you connect it to them. the error is

"paged fault in a non-paged area ntfs.sys "
I can't fix the filesystem, because connecting it causes a BSOD to the host's OS. have any idea how I can get around this?

P.S. The HDD doesn't do this in Linux or Mac. Obviously I can just copy the files in Linux/Mac and then redo the OS. But I want to preserve the OS, if possible

jraju:
Hi, How many ram sticks you have. Please try to boot with one and check if the problem persists.
                 If it is not fixed, try memtest and if it fails , there may be a need to change the ram. Mostly ram problem.

garegin:
the problem is from the filesystem. It does the same when you pull the HDD and connect it to another machine.

garegin:
ok I found the solution. You have to force the OS to check the volume before it mounts it.

Glad you found the fix, basically the file system is so shot on that drive that when the Windows driver goes to access it, it kills the system. So checking the drive before Windows loads is the way to go :wink:
