Hi,

I had a windows 2000 advanced sp4 working with external storage connected to
it
through a megaraid 320/2 pci card. The system installed on a local scsi
drive
only data was stored on the external raid. This was working for few month &
then
I got a blue screen saying PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 7 the driver ntfs.sys
was mentioned too on that
blue screen. I tried all the help from Microsoft knowledge web page but
nothing helped.
I have to mention that once I shut the storage down I was able to run the
windows 2000 OS, only when I connected the
storage I got this blue screen.
I was about to reformat & create the raid (this is the last step in one of
Microsoft help pages)
but then I decided to connect a Linux box (fedora) with ntfs driver rpm, now
I get full access to the drive
& I can use samba to copy all files !!!
How can it be ? is there no fix to Microsoft ntfs.sy bug ???

Thanks
Danny
 
I may be stepping out on a limb, and to many folks have saws around here,
but more than likely the problem is NOT in NTFS.SYS; it was simply the poor
soul that had focus when the system crashed, most likely because a device
driver failed. The very first driver I would suspect would be the last one
you installed. Was it the driver for the RAID PCI card?
 
No change was made to the OS the only change that might have caused the
problem
was microsoft hotfix that are beeing deployed automaticly using SUS.
This is why i mentioned that when i disconnect the storage i can load the
windows 2000 OS
,the raid card is still installed when i do so !!! its not eh driver
this must be ntfs.sys issue
 
You may be running into the issue doc'd in Q837067 (this will also get you
several other post SP4 updates). To get the fix, you will need to contact
MS-Support (give them that KB #).
