Hello,
I am having issues with my hard drive. I have recently had
NTOSKernel.exe corrupt, and had to restore a corrupt registry. I have
finally bought another hard drive and need to ghost my current one.
The problem is today I went to start it up and got to the Window and
got an application error. The computer froze. Now when I attempt to
boot it keeps Blue Screening with Page_Fault_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. I have
another hardisk with an older backup of XP and it loads just fine, so
no hardware issues with this PC. I can boot up on the other hard drive
and browse the hard drive with my current XP OS on it. I ran a scan
disk both for files and bad sectors, both passed with no errors. I
cannot boot into XP, XP safe mode, or the the recovery console, both
from the harddisk where it is installed and from the CD. I am guessing
my pagefile is corrupt. I tried to delete it from explorer using my
older backup and browsing to my hard drive with the newer OS and
deleteing it, but I get a requestor stating that the file is in use and
I can't delete it. (I should be able to since I am deleting the
pagefile from my C: drive, and am booted up on my D: drive).
Any suggestions on what is causing the Page_Fault_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA,
and how to solve it would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to
ghost this disk to a new hard drive ASAP.
Thanks
Ryan
