Crash during Auto Update...

[rasin]

The hard drive partition that contains the operating system was slaved and is read as RAW. Ran EASUS Data Recovery, it sees the partition as NTSF and all files seem to be intact.
Retrieved a boot file with this information

*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFD3094C2, 0x00000001, 0xFBFE7617, 0x00000000

***NTFS.SYS - Address 0xFBFE base at 0xFD3094C2, DateStamp 3d6abeff


If I disable auto restart this appears

***STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x83B6D2F8, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)


Any help is appreciated, Thanks RASIN.

Repair your Operation System with Windows Installation CD.

Thanks for the reply, the system disc I have does not have the repair console access on it I don't think the hidden repair utility is installed either. Have not been successful in finding a download for it. The drive image has been saved on another partition but before I format the raw segment I was hoping to rebuild or repair the partition table or the boot sector.

I can see the restore points in the drive image but cannot utilize them, the operating system and all the data is on the unusable drive which has been installed as a slave in another system. The raw drive will not boot and with auto restart disabled gives the STOP error posted above

I was able to recover using chkdsk on another machine. Thanks for help rasin.

Solution to my problem was, in hindsight, elementary. I had attempted initially to check disc from another XP installation. After selecting repair errors and recover sectors the scan now button did nothing. The next few days through forums and commercial recovery softwares led me here and a reference to running chkdsk from command prompt with fix errors enabled did the trick. BEST ANSWER: install faulty drive into another system as a slave drive, start XP normally, press start then run. In the open dialog box type cmd and press ok. The command line that appears should say C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>

Type chkdsk ?: /F and press enter.

? is the drive or partition in question, /F is the mode for repair

Seems to be working, might be a good time to back up everything!
