KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

Question

Tried to access Internet Explorer, upon doing so a blue screen came up detailing an error, KERNEL_ DATA_ INPAGE_ ERROR was what appeared at the top.   Said to restart the computer, upon doing so get blank screen saying 'Primary drive 0 not found' F1 to continue (which doesn't work) or F2 into setup.   The odd thing is though, after a little while, it starts up fine again, lasts a couple of hours, with everything working fine, and then does the same thing.   Rung Dell yesterday, they checked Hard drive and all relevant bits, run Dell Diagnostics, no problems and/or viruses. So they suggested a full restore, which I did, worked fine all of last night.   Turn it on again this morning and 'Primary drive 0 not found' comes up again   Any suggestions? Message Edited by Ronaldeano on 08-02-2005 11:05 PM

For some clues to the problem look at your event viewer located in administrative tools or disk management located in computer management under storage in xp home edition. Did you run chkdsk? Post errors if any are found.

Also check your hard drive settings in the bios F2 or possible bad connection on hard drive.

I have the same problem with this too - KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR   My PC was first installed in 2002, installed with Win XP Home, with zip drive.   Read through a lot of forums but no conclusive answers.  My sister thinks its a problem with the zip drive since it always 'hangs' whenever the zip drive diode is turned on.    I didn't believe that but I kind of felt it was a memory issue, so I did the paging file (no PC 'hang', but another problem occured when I tried to restart the PC)   The system just 'hang' when the zip drive diode is on and the prompt of pressing F1 or F2 after the Dell logo at pc turn on.  Pressing either one will yield no favourable response.  it just repeat the prompt.   So we reinstalled XP.  But the same thing happen when the auto updates are downloading at shutdown.  Tried to boot-up again but the same prompt F1 or F2 with futile effort.   Now that I have now taken out the zip drive, the error has not been seen for 2 days now.  But does the problem lie with the zip drive?  I read from Iomega website that the Zip drive should never be installed in the same IDE channel with the hard disk, but that's not the case with Dell Dimension 4300 configuration.  My secondary IDE channel is already used up.   Can someone help me on how I can get this zip drive re-installed with no issues?  At least to get all my files store in the zip disk transferred elsewhere.  The Zip drive had always been a slave to the HDD for the past 5 years.  Never had this issue in the past.  Not sure why now.   Please help!!!
