The Blue Screen Of Death.(BSOD) can be caused by Registry Errors.


There may be conflicts with Drivers..


STOP Error 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM


STOP error 0x24 means a problem occurred in ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS drives. STOP code 0x00000024 may also display "NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM" on the same STOP message.


A bit of research:-

You may not be able to resolve this with a Rollback. (Restore Point)


If you have a System Disc..


You will need an XP Installation CD to try to fix this. If you do not have one, try to borrow one just to run this fix.




Configure your PC to boot from CD if it isn't already set up that way. You may need to enter the BIOS to configure the PC to boot from the CD.


Set the boot order to


floppy (if present)


CD/DVDROM


Hard disk


SAVE and EXIT




Start your PC with the XP Setup CD in the drive. When you see the "Press any key to boot from CD..." prompt, do so and let the CD-based boot process begin.




When the Recovery Console option is offered (Press R to start the Recovery Console), do so. You may be asked which Windows installation to enter, in which case type the number of the Windows installation you wish to work on (usually 1).




When prompted, enter the Administrator's password for that Windows installation. If you did not set a password just press ENTER




At the command prompt, type


chkdsk /r (there is a space before the /)


Enter

I have just noticed the press and hold. F8 it was a cut and paste and I did not notice the error.

You need to repeatedly hit F8... not hold it down.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
