Stop Error 0x00000024

First of all, I've found these two websites for the problem:

• http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1045490246
• http://www.binrev.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t21291.html

According to these links, the problem is based on a change by Partition Magic: it has changed the Windows XP boot partition, and windows has been shocked largely, because it has left the partition in an unfinished state. However, I don't know yet whether windows is surprised because the partition has been changed or because errors occured that have not been corrected appropiately.

I've taken a look into this page, and there is an explanation how to correct exactly this problem:

1. Boot Windows from CD
2. Open recovery console with the [R] key
3. The Administrator password is probably empty
4. Short moments later a command console appears
5. CHKDSK C: /R repairs the partition, can last longer and freeze for a moment during the process
6. When it's done, make a quick restart, possibly it will work now!
