got a friend with this problem any ideas to resolve it

ERROR 0x00000024
NTFS.SYS

and it says... check the disk with CHDSK /F to repair the problem... but I can't because I can't access to anything to do a CHKDSK...

:)

OK try this
Open 'my computer'
RIGHT click C: drive
Select 'properties'
'Tools' tab
'Error checking'
Select EVERYTHING
Click OK on the pop up
REBOOT

It will now do a checkdisk on reboot, can take a while

Thanks for that I'll give it a try :)

You can do a checkdisk before getting into Windows. The easiest way to do this is to create a bootdisk (www.bootdisk.com will help) and then restart your PC with that disk in the drive. With this you can get to a DOS prompt to run the checkdisk.
