WinXP cannot boot. Error reading Volume Info from NTFS Partition

[hoc7hoi9]

My PC cannot boot from WinXP. After reading the drive halfway it stops. If I leave it for a while it would come up with a blue screen and a warning that error from harddrive is detected, PC will shut down to prevent damage. And this line:

***stop: 0x0000007B (0000......)

I used NTFS DOS Pro 5.0 to read the disk and it comes up with these:

Mounting NTFS partition at 0x80:1 as drive J
( Same for drive K,L,M,N with 0x80:3, 4)
But with 0x80:5 this is shown:

Error reading volume information from NTFS partition 0x80:5

After awhile the mounting of partition at 0x80:6 and 7 is completed.

Could this problem be fixed, or at least could the disk (a WD 80 GB) to salvage some of the files?

Thanks.

hoc7hoi9,

If you are using NTFSDOS Pro than you should have the NTFSCHK program as well. Run that on the drive and see if it can fix any errors.

I stumbled across another possible fix. I got this same error, but fixed it with a BIOS setting. I put in the actuall settings for the Hard Drive, instead of allowing the BIOS to Auto select. This seems to have fixed the problem, 2 weeks and counting with no repeats.

Stance
