Hi

I am just wondering that why does the partition get corrupted suddenly. In
past couple of months I have come across following errors

missing or corrupt hal.dll
missing or corrupt c:\windows\system32\drivers\config
missing or corrupt c:\windows\system32\ntfs.sys

And this happens only in field, I have tried to do multiple abnormal
shutdowns. Tried switching off the Write Cache option on the hard disk. When
doing the testing in lab (by putting the PC on raw power) it is very
difficult to recreate this problem. But in field it appears a very recurring
problem.

Can any one suggest what are the reasons for the corrupt file system? What
else could cause above error messages? Is it something to do with the way
windows uses file system and / or these files?

Any inputs / thoughts are welcome.

Thanks

Rajesh,

Any details on what your image includes - Write Filters, etc.? What the device usage in the field - dedicated app, power shutdowns,
etc.?
