Windows 11 BSOD afer plugging in external HDD with allegedly broken Win 7

Hi,

a friend of mine came up to me saying that his old win 7 pc is only booting in safe mode.
Unfortunatly after i received the pc it would not even boot in safe mode.
I connected the HDD via an Adapter to my own Win 11 pc as an external HDD.
My stystem recognized the HDD just fine and i was able to open some data.
But after some seconds the system crashed (BSOD).
The MS Stopcode: System_Thread_expection_not_handled
Reason: nfts.sys

Hoping for a solution so i can save his data.

Thanks in advance

Windows 11 BSOD afer plugging in external HDD with allegedly broken Win 7

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help, and just to confirm can you still use the affected device? if so, we need to analyze the error, can you please check if you have minidump files on the PC so that we can further examine what is the root cause of the issue?

Press Windows key + E (To open file explorer)

Click "This PC" > then follow the file path:

C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy the Minidump files and save them to another location like Desktop or Documents.

Then please upload it to Cloud storage and please share the shareable link here.

In addition, the error NTFS meaning there is a file system error on the HDD, it is either corrupted system files or hardware-related issues on the hard drive.

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Bernard
