Applies to: Windows XP and other operating systems. This stop error means that your ntfs file system is corrupt (damage in the file system, bad hard drive data, corrupt SCSI or IDE drivers or a corrupt ntfs.sys file). To fix this error you will need the XP CD that came with your computer and boot to the recovery console and run chkdsk /r at the command prompt.

One of my clients has a Sony Vaio desktop computer; he calls me and tells me that no USB ports are working. On the phone I diagnosed it to be a driver issue but once I got to visit my client it turned out to be the motherboard. I uninstalled the USB drivers from device manager and restarted the Sony PC and still no USB ports were working.

I took the PC back to my workshop and run Knoppix a live Linux distro and still no USB. I called my client and told him he needed a new motherboard and cost of repair will be £150 + plus a requested memory upgrade from 256MB to 2GB the total was £230. He decided it was too old to start spending money on it and asked me to make him a new computer.
