Past few months been having BSOD come up with errors like kernel stack inpage error, STOP 0x0000000024
happens about once a week so I hoped it would fix itself.:)

Recently I bought a new hard drive though that I want to swap with my old one, this is where ive run into problems, I have Powerquest Drive Image 5 so ive tried copying my old hard drive to the new one but it won’t have it, I got loads of errors from drive image like.

Error 1561 partition improperly dismounted

Error 1534 cluster crosslinked or not allocated

error 1609 lost clusters

Only thing ive tried is running chkdsk, ive typed chkdsk /f but it found nothing at all. I’m guessing my BSOD and the error messages in drive image are related? I’m thinking of buying Acronis True Image 11, I could do with updating Drive Image anyway and hopefully it may be able to copy my hard drive

appreciate advice as if i can't fix this problem i'ii have to send my new hard drive back as i don't fancy re-installing XP and i have no other back-ups
 
Boot up with windows xp cd and go to REcovery Console,

Run Chkdsk /r

Will take a bit of time but usually fixes this sort of problem.
 
if not get yourself a copy of hyrens boot cd and take a look at the hard disk recovery tools on there. I have fixed manu drives with that cd.
