Hi,

Did you by mistaken typed the server OS version as 2000? or really you are still using 2000 server which MS stopped supporting in July 2010.

By looking at the error, it's something related to ntfs.sys which could be memory related issues, Virus, unsupported drivers, damaged system files etc but can't confirm until looking at the dump file. Are you able to boot into safe mode? if so, try running chkdsk and see if it boot into normal?

ASKER

Yes this is Windows 2000 Advanced Server set up in RAID 5 with 3 SCSI drives. I cannot boot into safe mode. I know I need to do a CHKDSK. Please help.

Seth Simmons

what type of system is this? i wouldn't be too optimistic of recovery because of its age; could be a failing array
hope there is a good backup

ASKER

It is a Dell Poweredge 1750. I just need to get into Windows to do a chkdsk or use the recovery console.

are you running on 1 disk or in raid?

alternatively could you please mount the impacted drive to another system and then perform the chkdsk ?

ASKER

I am running 3 disks in RAID 5. All 3 drives are impacted and I can't start Windows to do a chkdsk.

Hi,

Can't you insert CD/DVD and boot it from that drive and get into the recovery console and perform chkdsk agaist the system drive?

Hi Ben,

Could you please confirm is this any chance physical server ?

We do understand you are not able to login to the windows, but what challanges you are facing in mounting the drives to another server as secondary server ?

Waiting for your response.

ASKER

Yes it's a physical server.

When I boot from the install CD, I can't get to the recovery console and get the same error:
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM error STOP 0x00000024

ok- when exactly do you get that error ? if needed post a picture

ASKER

I get the error every time I try to boot into Windows. I see the Windows boot screen and then the error.

post a picture plse
it is not logic that you get that error also when booting from cd

Are you sure you boot it from CD/DVD? Did you changed the boot order to make CD drive as priority 1(first boot). Sounds like the boot priority still hd on top. If it's in CD then u won't get this error as the install media doesn't recognize ntfs partition.

to above : that's just reating what i said...not very friendly

Hi,

@nobus- I didn't get you what you mean? Read my comment above https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29056651/Windows-STOP-0x00000024-NTFS-FILE-SYSTEM-Error.html?anchorAnswerId=42295784#a42295784

Can't you insert CD/DVD and boot it from that drive and get into the recovery console and perform chkdsk agaist the system drive?

My latest comment was just based on what I was suggested above and didn't mean to override your comment.

Restart the computer and press f2 while starting up. This enters the setup program.Select the Boot tab and change to Legacy Boot, Secure Boot Off. After restarting, this shows the boot sequence and the order can be changed using +/- keys. then change the boot order to. CD/DVD.

what system is this? with server 2000 - it probably does not have UEFI settings

ASKER

The boot order is correct. I see "press any key to boot from CD" and I did this but I get the "STOP: 0x00000024 - NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM Error"

Again it is Windows 2000 Advanced Server ... what is UEFI settings?

i asked for the system - HARDWARE
UEFI is the new BIOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface

ASKER

It is a PowerEdge 1750 with 2 Xeon 3066Mhz, 8GB RAM, PERC 4/Di set up in RAID 5, 3 x 136GB SCSI drives, and dual power supplies.

a1750 has a bios - too old to have UEFI i take it the screens you see during boot stay Always the same?
post a picture of the bios settings for boot order, or boot priority, it should be set to DVD
if it still does not boot to DVD - you may have a bad CD media, cable or connection to the drive, or a bad drive
replace each one for testing - or remove all cables and reconnect them
