|
Answer» what to do? what to do? I have accepted the fact that I will have to format my hard disk after chkdsk /r and chkdsk /p and fixmbr all failed to complete. However, on formating through the recovery console I get: a blue error screen saying ... the problem seems to be caused by the following file: partmgr.sys It also says: STOP: 0x000000CE (0xF7933667,0x00000000,0xF7933667,0x00000000) partmgr.sys Please help. Can I somehow reformat my hard disk and at least try recovering some of my important files? Or will I have to BUY another hard disk - I have a lap top and this will be pricey...I found this, but i dont know if it will help you, becasue if you cant get into WINDOWS it will be hard in get/install the SP. SYMPTOMS When Partition Manager (Partmgr.sys) RECEIVES the Plug and Play IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS| RemovalRelation command, Partition Manager forwards the call to lower level drivers. However, the results are not sustained, so the device does not include remove relations, and must be removed individually. This behavior may cause a memory leak. CAUSE This problem may occur if Partition Manager does not combine the results that are reported by the lower level driver, but instead overwrote a memory pointer.
