9. BSOD Error - STOP: 0x00000024 | Stop 0x24 or NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
Causes:
This Stop error indicates that a problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to
drives formatted with the NTFS file system. (A similar Stop message, 0x00000023, exists for the file allocation table [FAT16
or FAT32] file systems.) The NTFS.SYS file is the driver file that enables your computer to read and write to NTFS partitions.
Damage in the NTFS file system, damaged portions of your hard disk, or damaged SCSI or IDE drivers can also cause this issue.
Solution:
1.Try disabling any virus scanning programs,
2. Run Disk Defragmenter
3.Run CHKDSK /R to detect and resolve any file system structural damage.
FAT or FAT32 File System
If your system partition is using the FAT or FAT32 file system, disconnect or turn off any data disks that contain NTFS
volumes. This allows you to start back into the operating system to perform troubleshooting steps. If you can determine which
NTFS volume is causing the boot problem, use the following steps:
1. Make sure the drive that contains the corrupted NTFS volume is disconnected, and then start Windows by using Safe
mode.
2. Rename the %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\NTFS.SYS file to NTFS. old, and then shut down the computer (this action prevents the NTFS.SYS driver from loading).
3. Reconnect the drive that contains the corrupted NTFS volume.
4. Restart the computer, and then run the following command on the corrupted NTFS volume:
chkdsk driveletter: /f
NOTE: The Chkdsk tool has built-in support for NTFS and does not require the NTFS.SYS driver to make repairs.
5.After you use the Chkdsk tool to repair the corrupted NTFS volume, rename %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\NTFS.old to NTFS.SYS, and then shut down and restart the computer.
The computer should be operational again, and you can try to determine what caused the original problem.

computer.
