Windows XP PFN_LIST CORRUPT BSOD

[Alkesh jain]

Hey Guys!
I was using windows XP SP2 from almost 4 years now, but i never had any problems with it... I had always heard about BSOD but never had it on my PC. Now all of a sudden i get a BSOD too... It has something written like :
PFN_LIST CORRUPT.
Technical Information: *** STOP: 0x0000004E (0x00000099, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Can anyone help me out with this problem? Would be really helpful. Thanks in advance...

Hey!
I had a similar problem like yours but before getting this BSOD i used to get some BSOD regarding hard disk stating something regarding unmountable volume. Well did you get any such BSOD? if yes then you need to repair the errors on the hard disk if any exists. run check disk utility from windows, might help you. All the best.

Hey!
Thanks for taking some time out and replying to my problem, that was really a quick one. Well i'm not able to log into windows not even in safe mode. Windows boot screen will appear with the loading status bar moving then after its three rounds or so computer will get the BSOD. How do i run the chkdsk utility!? Help guys, i hate coming to cyber cafes. Thanks again.

Hey!
You will need Windows XP bootable disk for the same. Change boot device priority in BIOS and make CD/DVD-ROM as first boot device. Boot from CD and at the first user interaction screen Press R to enter Recoverly Console. Press 1 and Press Enter. Once you are at the DOS screen with the prompt as "C:\Windows>" type : "CHKDSK C: /R" without quotes. let the check disk utility to complete and see if there are any errors. "/R" switch is for Repair. This might fix the error. If this doesn't then repair Windows XP with the same CD. All the best.
