Basic troubleshooting: a) What is the STOP code?
b) If the crash is in ntfs.sys, then access the drive via another OS (or maybe WinPE) or try some of the hardware tricks suggested by others Cheers Ken From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 24 November 2009 11:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Here's a new one to troubleshoot A friend e-mails me, he's been playing with overclocking his P4 and somehow toasted his HDD. No, really I had him run through a couple of things and it BSOD's as master or slave HDD. I had him send *me* the drive and I hooked it up as a USB drive. As soon as Vista starts to recognize the drive POOF! BSOD. Doesn't matter how I set the jumpers either. Does it when Vista is in Safe mode even. It's a 120GB EIDE drive but I have no character mode methods to boot to. Anyone have any tricks? Bart CD maybe? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
