My laptop crashed with a BSOD with the message about ntfs.sys and "page fault in non paged area". The laptop runs on Windows 7. I tried to start a chckdsk command in several ways, but I cannot start a computer with the disk connected without a BSOD or the disk is not recognized.
- I tried to boot in to safe mode with a command prompt, but also that ends in the same BSOD.
- I tried to start the Windows recovery, both from the installation partition of the laptop and a Windows 7 installation DVD. But also that shows the same BSOD.
- I tried to boot the Windows XP environment from the Hirens CD, that also shows the same BSOD.
- I tried to boot the NTFS tools from the Hirens CD, that gives some error (don't know exactly wat).
- I removed the harddisk and connected it to a working PC (also Windows 7) via a SATA-to-USB converter. When the disk is recognized by the computer, a BSOD occurs also noticing ntfs.sys and fault in non page area.
- Finally i tried to boot a Knoppix live disk, knoppix does not see the hard driver.
Does anyone have any tips how the fix the hard drive, or if it is fixable at all?
