I am getting a STOP 0x00000024 error while attempting to install windows XP
to a computer with a SATA harddrive. The SATA controller is integral to the
VIA chipset, and the drivers have been slipstreamed into the windows xp
disc. This error occurs at the same point in windows setup, during
textmode, at the point where the user chooses the partition to install to.
The drive is a new samsung 120GB that is known good, and has two NTFS
partitions on it.
The other error I get is that HAL.dll file is missing. This occurs at
various times, assuming that it completes the textmode setup and reboots to
the gui mode.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,

From http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

"A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the
system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a
physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP)
may be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive
fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of
drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest
running ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file
system filters such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup
utilities. Check the file properties of NTFS.SYS to ensure it matches
the current OS or SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or
removable device drivers to the most current versions."

Thanks for your help. We FDISK'ed it from a W98SE boot disk, and we'll see
what happens. I'll keep this one on my file though.
