Hey All!

Yesterday, I've experienced an NTFS BSOD.Today I had another one, this time I've got a dump file.when I analyzed it I've got :KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Typically caused bya bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also seeKERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR. I've tried to run chkdsk and fix the blocks, but I'm not sure it was successful.

While the Data Integrity Scan succeeded. the Read Scan test failed. How do you recommend me to proceed? ThanksAriel

Russian programers made life easier already, there are two tools that can "remap" bad blocks, they are old but still working with drives less then 1,5TB.

They are Victoria and MHDD

http://www.ihdd.ru/download/software/mhdd/ http://www.ihdd.ru/download/software/mhdd/ The documentation and FAQ is here http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/ http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

Use at your own risk, disconnect all others drives, put controllers into IDE compatible mode!

Those tools can force drive to remap the bad block, they are working on the most usual magnetic hdds

You can scan (read) with remap enabled twice or even all night (LOOP) and if your realocated sector counts do not increase and no more errors, then it must be fixed. This is non destructive method for the exciting filesystem (does not matter is it NTFS or whatever else).

As for me I prefer to use Victoria for windows.
