Windows 7 blue screen error ntfs

[basilico]

Hello everyone, I do not know how to explain this thing:
I have 2 hard drives from 80 GB on a secondary ide channel and the other of 300 gb on the primary channel. in these 2 hard drives are installed respectively in fat32 windows 2000 and the second hard drive windows xp, vista and other windows 2000 and so far so good ...
The strange thing is that if I start windows 2000 or xp from second hard disk all right but if I start the windows vista (tried also Windows 7) happens to me that the partition of the hard disk starts saying MFT master file table and says invalid descriptor protection / sid correct ...... But I skipped the operating system ... Now I doubt that the problem is caused by formatting ntfs windows 2000 version 5.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista / 7 using ntfs 6.1,After that blue screen says which do you think?

It seems like you are encountering an issue with the compatibility between the NTFS versions used by Windows 2000 (NTFS version 5.1) and Windows Vista/7 (NTFS version 6.1). The Master File Table (MFT) error you are seeing is likely due to the differences in the way these operating systems handle the NTFS file system. When you have multiple Windows operating systems installed on different partitions with different versions of NTFS, it can lead to compatibility issues, especially when newer versions of Windows expect different structures or features in the file system. Here are a few things you can consider to troubleshoot or address this issue:

Potential Solutions:​

1. Update Windows 2000 NTFS Driver:
   • Ensure that the NTFS driver on Windows 2000 is up to date. It's possible that an older driver is causing compatibility issues when booting into Windows Vista/7.
   []Repair the NTFS File System:
   • Boot into Windows Vista/7 using the installation media and try to repair the NTFS file system on the partition where you are encountering the MFT error. This might help resolve any corruption or compatibility issues.
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • Try running Windows Vista/7 in compatibility mode for older operating systems. This might help mitigate some compatibility issues with the NTFS file system.
2. Backup and Reformat:
   • As a last resort, consider backing up your data from the Windows 2000 partition and reformatting it to NTFS version 6.1 to ensure compatibility with Windows Vista/7. This will involve reinstalling Windows 2000 and any necessary applications.

     Additional Considerations:​

   • Boot Loader Configuration: Check your boot loader configuration (like GRUB) to ensure it properly handles the different versions of Windows and their file systems.

• Partition Alignment: Ensure that your partitions are correctly aligned to avoid any performance or compatibility issues. Given the differences in NTFS versions and the complexity of multiple operating systems on different partitions, it's crucial to ensure compatibility and proper configurations to avoid such errors.
