corrupt ntfs.sys

August 27, 2008

Have windows 2003 Standard server, 64 bits. Was running smoothly until last

automatic update. Since then I'm getting random "...file missing or corrupt

\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys " errors. Hitting any key resets the Pc and OS

would load normally. Yet every now and then, error would happen again.

Have recovered, replaced RAM, etc. Yet error would remain. Any clue?

Re: corrupt ntfs.sys

I would suspect hardware in the following order:

- Write cache on Disk/RAID controller

- RAM modules (you've already done that)

- System cache memory

- Power Supply

- Disk drive

- Some other component (motherboard, controller, processor etc)
