If you have the original Windows Install disk, you can boot off of that, choose the Recovery Console option, and once you are in the Recovery Console, run "chkdsk /r c:". The error seems to be a file system problem, so running a chkdsk could help or isolate the issue further.
Testimonial: "Thanks, the computer is running a raid backup system, and the 1st hard drive (c) seems to have the problem, I am trying to test the second HD now"
Another idea might be to download the Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) and run the diagnostic utilities on there for your hardware.

Definition: STOP 0x00000024, 0X0000024, 0X24 or NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
Applies to: Windows XP and other operating systems.
This stop error means that your ntfs file system is corrupt (damage in
the file system, bad hard drive data, corrupt SCSI or IDE drivers or a
corrupt ntfs.sys file).
How do I resolve the problem?
1, If you still can access Windows, try to disable any backup programs,
virus scanning programs or disk defragmenter tools. Try also to run a
hardware diagnostics tool to detect any errors your hard drive might
have. And run chkdsk /r to detect and repair any file system structural
damage.
2, If you are unable to load Windows. Then you should try to access
your ntfs partitions by making a ntfs boot disk with NTFS4DOS
(freeware). You can download it from http://www.geekswhoknow.com/files/ntfsinst.exe You will need a floppy disk.
After you load the bootable floppy disk onto your damaged system,
select either option one (1) or option three (3). If you selected
option one (1), type chkdsk /r at the command prompt, and your problem
should go away after the disk has been repaired.
Note! Unfortunately there is a chance that your partition is corrupt
beyond repair and all of your data is lost. In that case, you need to
reformat the partition to be able to use it again.

Blue screen errors, or blue screen of death (BSOD) errors,
are the most severe errors Windows can encounter. Since Windows can not recover
from this kernel level error, a blue screen is displayed with the error
details. The error details contain a STOP error code, which indicates the type
of error.
There are a lot of possible causes for blue screen errors,
but most of them relate to the computer hardware. The cause of a BSOD error can
be a temperature problem, a timing error, a resource conflict, hardware
failure, a corrupt registry, a virus or simply a device incompatibility or
driver error.
How to analyze blue screen errors
The first thing to do to analyze a blue screen error is to
check the meaning of the STOP error code. You need to stop Windows from
rebooting when a STOP error is encountered. Once the blue screen of death is
shown, you can check the meaning of the STOP error code. Together with the
filename of the driver or module, this will give an indication of the error
cause.
Another option to analyze the cause of the blue screen error
is to look at the Windows system event log or to debug the memory dump
(minidump) that Windows created when the error occurred. The event log can be
viewed using the event viewer. Right-click Computer in the Start menu, and then
select Manage. In the Computer Management window select Event Viewer. The
information in the event log can be of great help to isolate the cause of the
blue screen error.
Reading the minidump requires a bit more technical
knowledge, but Microsoft has tools to read the minidump.
The most common cause of blue screen errors
In reality, the most common cause of blue screen errors is a
device driver problem. Outdated, incorrect or corrupt drivers can cause the
system to encounter a STOP error, resulting in the BSOD.
So the easiest way to try and fix a blue screen error is to
reinstall and update your system's device drivers. This will ensure that all
driver bugs are fixed and that all hardware has the correct driver.
If you know which device caused the error, you can update or
reinstall that driver first. The file name in the blue screen of death can help
identify the driver. Look for a file with the .SYS extension and search for
that file name.
If you do not have the drivers for all devices, or are not
comfortable updating your PC's drivers manually, you can use a driver update
tool to find, download and update all device drivers for you. Such tools will
accurately identify your computer hardware, including any device causing an
error, and automatically install the latest drivers for it.
In most cases updating or reinstalling drivers will solve
your blue screen errors.
Other causes of blue screen errors
However, if updating device drivers does not fix the blue
screen error, there are a number of additional things to try:
Load the default BIOS values - resource conflicts and timing
issues can be caused by incorrect BIOS settings.
Update the BIOS - especially after adding new hardware or
installing a Windows service pack this can help fix issues.
Update Windows - missing updates, including service packs
can be a source of stop errors.
Check your system - run a virus scan and spyware scan after
updating your definition files.
Driver rollback - if you have recently updated a driver, you
can use the driver rollback to revert back to the previous driver version.
