Error code 137 Source NTFS

[Hakvinius]

Hi,
Today, I suddenly found a new error in my log. The event id is 137 and
source is NTFS. A translation of the message would be something like this:

"Unable to start the standard resource handler for transactions on volume C:
due to an error."

From log:
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System>
<Provider Name="Ntfs" />
<EventID Qualifiers="49156">137</EventID>

</EventData>
</Event>

I tried a chckdsk, but no errors there.

Thanks in advance for any help!

After some research, I found the solution here:

This error was apparently stopping Windows Update and System Restore.
As this seems to have happened with others before, it's strange that nothing
can be found on MS KB.

External HD ?? This error usually suggests that either the HD has not been formatted properly or it is in a FAT 32 scenario and you are installing NTFS volumes on to it

After purchase the ext HD was formatted in FAT 32. I used it that way for a short while, until I realized I could not save large files (4 Gb).

At that point I reformatted to NFTS and reloaded the previous files.
From there on, I had problems with infinite time to tead end write.
What can I do now ? Shloud I for example go back to FAT 32 ?
Thank you
