Ntfs.sys

Hi Kudret,

You have not provided the model of your Dell and operating system. That info is really helpful to us.

I suspect your hard drive is failing but you should run the Dell diagnostics from your drivers and utilities disc to confirm. To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:
1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.
2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.
3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.
5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.
6. Select Test System.
7. Select Custom Test.
7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.
9. Click Run Tests.
10. Write down any error messages.

hard drive diagnostic results:

Drive0: ST3250824AS - Pass

Drive2: ST3250824AS - Fail. return Code:7

Thanks for the quick response

I had ran some text during the day  under the title of blue screen test

here are the results:

SATA Disk S/N=4ND3X9Z5 - Read test

Result: Fail

Error Code: 650F:0244

Msg: Block 202529115 Uncorrectable data error

would this give you an idea?

Which drive is your system drive?

Do I need help? I of course do :)))

I am worried that if I try to do anything it may end up loosing all data - which i can not afford

I am not even sure what has caused this error and what it is about :)

please tell me  if this missing or corrupted  Ntfs.sys  causes data loss?

Error Code: 650F:0244 indicates that the SATA Disk S/N=4ND3X9Z5 hard drive has failed and you need to replace it.

Does the 9150 have RAID, or have Primary and Secondary hard drives?

If it is RAID, is it setup as RAID1, or RAID0.

Bev.

Kudret,

You did not answer my question. Do you know which is your system drive?
