Stop Error 0x00000024 -- Ntfs.sys, Really strange problem...

[ckrieger]

Hey guys. Just so you know ahead of time, I am not a noob. I have tried replacing my ntfs.sys with one from another XP machine which I know for a fact works. I only get this blue screen when I try to open an ISO file. Here's the story:

I gave my laptop to Best Buy (have a warranty there) to get it repaired. (Overheating problems...) I was all happy to get it back. I have an ISO file that I wanted to mount, right? I tried to open it with UltraISO to mount it, and the BSOD pops up. I restart and try again. Same thing. So I start up Daemon Tools, which works, and I try to mount it. Same issue. Rebooted and tried again. Same BSOD. Now, whenever I try to start up Daemon Tools or UltraISO, they start the BSOD, even when I don't try to open the ISO I was trying to use before. I tried running the chkdsk /f utility, which worked and fixed a few errors, but to no avail. Still the same problems. I haven't tried defragging it yet, because I am afraid that I will, upon doing this, kill it completely. I do have backups of my most important things, but there is a LOT of stuff on my laptop that I'd rather not reinstall. I know that it isn't really the ISO's fault, because I can sucessfully mount it on another desktop, with the ntfs.sys file that I tried replacing my laptop's with. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Here is the exact BSOD message that I receive:

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM

A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) may be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities. Check the file properties of NTFS.SYS to ensure it matches the current OS or SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or removable device drivers to the most current versions.

The driver for Daemon Tools can sometimes cause problems, I`m not sure about UltraISO.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

If that doesn`t help. Zip 5 or 6 of your latest minidumps together and attach them here.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

Okay, I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling Daemon Tools and defrag and if that doesn't work, I'll post my minidumps.

It was Daemon Tools after all. I didn't even need to defrag or restart, it just worked once I uninstalled. I bet that's why some of my games after around an hour and a half froze and when I rebooted my computer it showed that it had recovered from a serious error...Anyways thanks for the help!

Did you try using MagicISO to open iso image or using magicdisc(freeware) to mount iso image? Is it ok?
