Hi,
Today, I suddenly found a new error in my log. The event id is 137 and
source is NTFS. A translation of the message would be something like this:

"Unable to start the standard resource handler for transactions on volume C:
due to an error."

From log:
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System>
<Provider Name="Ntfs" />
<EventID Qualifiers="49156">137</EventID>

</EventData>
</Event>

I tried a chckdsk, but no errors there.

Thanks in advance for any help!

After some research, I found the solution here:
[url]http://blogs.vertigo.com/personal/alexark/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5[/url]

This error was apparently stopping Windows Update and System Restore.
As this seems to have happened with others before, it's strange that nothing
can be found on MS KB.

Hi, I am am getting mad with my external hard drives.
I have the same error code 137 source NTFS.
I cannot find a solution in Microsoft and finally discover that you experienced the same,...... but I cannot understand which is the solution and how to implement it. Can you please help me ? Thank you all.

At that point I reformatted to NFTS and reloaded the previous files.
From there on, I had problems with infinite time to tead end write.
What can I do now ? Shloud I for example go back to FAT 32 ?
Thank you
