It appears that the MFT is corrupt. I think that maybe the MFT is referencing itself as when I try booting to the partition the HDD just goes crazy. In Disk Administrator it shows up as an unknown partition. Gdisk which is similar to fdisk said thatthe partition has extended behind the end of the disk. Norton’s Ghost says “NTFS Error: Error reading FILE_VOLUME MFT record”. When I try to repair or re-install NT using the NT Setup disks I get a Blue Screen after inserting the 3rd disk. I have worked through Q153973 – Recovering NTFS boot sector on NTFS partitions, this enabled me to atleast assign a drive letter but I tried to run chkdsk I received an error that I should run chkdsk (good old MS error messages). There is also another partition on the drivewhich is FAT and this has not been effected at all.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
