Gerry,
Thanks for the help. I used the autoruns.exe and I found the entries
that were causing the errors. I've corrected them as I describe
below.
System boot is now clean with no errors or warnings.
I've also included the logs from HD Tune. But be aware that this is
a new disk I Just finished recovering to. My original disk was
definitely having errors. I used a Norton Ghost recovery image to
recover to the new disk. The image creation was ok so am I safe to
say that the disk failures didn't corrupt the image? There is, of
course, something else that was (still is) not straight with the OS.
Any further suggestions?
John
Event ID: 7000
The mrtRate service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
You may need to update Quicken driver?
Found and corrected that error. It was from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\CDS\Device\0
DeviceItem0071 REG_SZ [Non-Plug and Play Drivers] -> [mrtRate]
(0x00000000)
That's my display adapter driver. File doesn't exist, so I disabled
the service. I'm going reinstall that portion of my display adapter.

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:

SYMTDI
This is probably referring to symtdi.sys, which is a Norton
Anti-Virus driver. Logical response is to uninstall and reininstall
Norton. Good luck <G>.
I had uninstalled Norton AV and only Norton/symantec products on
system are Ghost and LiveUpdate. I deleted these entries from the
Registry.

[snipped]
The suggested commammand is chkdsk /f /r NOT chkdsk /r.
Done... Found some errors (see below). The disk is new so will
complete a scan later today. Disk fragmetation is 5%. When error
occurs, system is only running Ghost, Stop still occurs when ALL
startups and services, including anti-virus and firewall, are
disabled except for essentials.
File properties of ntfs.sys are good.
Question: If there was a problem with the other
Disk/tape/CD-ROM/other disk drivers, wouldn't that show up when I do
other Disk operations? So far, the only trigger I've found is trying
to create a bootable recovery CD. Will research and insure device
drivers are up to date.
I would clear the earlier errors before tackling the Stop Error
messages as they could be contributing towards the Stop Error
message.
Boot is now completely clean with no logged errors or warnings.
You might also try HD Tune(freeware) as you can see the SMART
information relating to the drive etc.
Download and run it and see what it turns up.

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.
