Stop 0xc000021a

Source
Cause
The STOP 0xC000021A error occurs when either Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe fails. When the Windows NT kernel detects that either of these processes has stopped, it stops the system and raises the STOP 0xC000021A error. This error may have several causes. Among them are the following:

• Mismatched system files have been installed.
• A Service Pack installation has failed.
• A backup program that is used to restore a hard disk did not correctly restore files that may have been in use.
• An incompatible third-party program has been installed. 

Solution
To troubleshoot this problem, you must determine which of these processes failed and why.
To determine which process failed, register Dr. Watson as the default system debugger (if it is not already the default debugger). Dr. Watson for Windows NT logs diagnostic information about process failures to a log file (Drwtsn32.log). Also, you can configure this program to produce memory dump files of failed processes that you can analyze in a debugger to determine why a process fails.
To set up Dr. Watson to trap user-mode program errors, follow these steps:

1. At a command prompt, type
   System Root\System32\Drwtsn32.exe -Iand then press ENTER.
   This command configures Dr. Watson as the default system debugger.
2. At a command prompt, type System Root\System32\Drwtsn32.exe, and then select the following options:
   Append to existing log file
   Create crash dump
   Visual Notification
3. After the computer restarts from the STOP 0xC000021A error, run Dr. Watson (Drwtsn32.exe).
4. View the Dr. Watson log to determine what user mode process may be causing the problem.
5. If the Dr. Watson log does not contain sufficient information to determine the cause of the problem, analyze the User.dmp file to determine the cause of the STOP 0xC000021A error.
   If Dr. Watson did not create a User.dmp file for either Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe, you may have to use a different tool to generate a memory dump file of the process that fails. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
   241215  How to use the Userdump.exe tool to create a dump file
   Note Follow the instructions in the Knowledge Base article to troubleshoot a process that shuts down with an exception. While you follow these instructions, monitor the following processes to troubleshoot the STOP 0xC000021A error:
   • Winlogon.exe
   • Csrss.exe
   Note Most STOP 0xC000021A errors occur because Winlogon.exe fails. This typically occurs because of a faulty third-party Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) DLL. The GINA is a replaceable DLL component that Winlogon.exe loads. The GINA implements the authentication policy of the interactive logon model. The GINA performs all identification and authentication user interactions.

It is very common for certain types of remote control software to replace the default Windows GINA DLL (Msgina.dll). Therefore, a good first step is to examine the system to see if it has a third-party GINA DLL. To do this, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Value = GinaDLL REG_SZ

• If the Gina DLL value is present and if it is anything other than Msgina.dll, it probably means that a third-party product has changed this value.
• If this value is not present, the system uses Msgina.dll as the default GINA DLL.

If this error first occurred after the installation of a new or updated device driver, system service, or third-party program, the new software should be removed or disabled. Contact the manufacturer of the software to see if an update is available. For more information about hardware and software vendor contact information, visit the following Microsoft Web site: -

How to Fix “STOP 0xC000021A” Error in Windows Server 2003

An error message while starting Windows Server 2003 system, halts the boot process and makes hard drive data inaccessible. A boot error message may appear owing to various reasons, the most common being system file corruption. Corruption of even a single system file (required at the time of boot process) halts the entire boot process. Just like other files, system files too are prone to corruption. And the cause of corruption can be virus attack, operating system damage, and human mistakes. To overcome system file corruption, a Windows user can format the system and restore data from an updated backup. However, in case no backup is available, a user needs to opt for a commercial partition recovery software.
For detailed explanation of the above problem, consider the below error message that appears when you try to boot your Windows Server 2003 machine:
“STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x0000000) The system has been shutdown.” (0x00000000 0x0000000) parameters are specific to system's configuration.
After the above error message pops up, the booting process stops, rendering to inaccessibility of the hard drive data.
Cause:
The above error message appears when the Windows NT kernel detects that Winlogon.exe and Csrss.exe processes have stopped. Winlogon.exe and Csrss.exe, are two very important system files that are required to boot system. This primarily occurs due to:
Installation of mismatched system files Failed installation of Service Pack Installation of incompatible third-party program Corruption of these two files
Resolution: To get past above boot error message and to access the data, you will need to:
1.Select 'Last Known Good Configuration' option to boot your system. 2.If the command does not work, then re-install Windows Server 2003 on your system.
Although re-installation allows you to overcome the above boot error message, it also deletes data from your hard drive. To recover data lost due to formatting, you need to use an effective third-party Partition Recovery application. Such Partition Recovery tools recover all formatted data from almost all kinds of formatted hard drives, including IDE, EIDE, etc.

Acronis BR error 0x0000007B

Source
This article applies to:

• Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition
• Windows Server 2008 R2 guest OS on ESX(i) 4.1

Symptoms

1. You create a backup of Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine running on ESX(i) 4.1 by means of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi (Virtual Appliance);
2. You recover the created backup to the same or new virtual machine on the same ESX(i) 4.1 Server;
3. The recovered virtual machine fails to boot with blue screen with error code 0x0000007B:

Cause

The issue is caused by file system corruption in the backup file, which is, in turn, caused by inconsistent snapshot created during the backup.
Solution
(!) This has been fixed. The fix is available in the latest build of the product. See Installation of the Latest Update of an Acronis Product.
To resolve this issue without installing the latest build, you will need create a new backup with consistent snapshot, and recover this new backup.
There are two possible ways to create a new backup with the consistent snapshot:

1. Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows inside the virtual machine and back it up by adding the virtual machine to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server or by connecting to it from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console;
2. You can also uninstall the Volume Shadow Copy Services Support feature of VMware Tools from the virtual machine and recreate its backup.

(!) Use this way only if the backed up VM does not run a database, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Exchange Server.

Disabling the VSS component of VMware Tools:

Uninstall the Volume Shadow Copy Services Support feature of VMware Tools from the virtual machine:

• Select the virtual machine in question on the ESX server and go to Inventory -> Virtual Machine -> Install/Upgrade VMware Tools:

• This will launch the installation of VMware Tools on the virtual machine:

• Choose Modify:

• Uncheck the Volume Shadow Copy Services Support:

• Complete the modification:

Reboot the virtual machine.

DiscWizard is based on an imaging engine provided by Acronis, Seagate programmers will have added behind the scenes extras to it.
Don't use the Acronis cleaning tool unless someone from Acronis says it's OK, again what Seagate might have added to the basic engine might not be recognised by the Acronis cleaner and cause you more problems.
You should definitely uninstall DiskWizard before installing ATI 2012, 2012 uses different disk filters has renamed some of them and they are in different places to that used by TIH 2009 (which is what DW is based on). Make sure you shut down and restart between uninstalling and re-installing, this guarantees that registry entries that are lurking in RAM are not written back to the registry hive as can happen if a restart/boot is performed.

FOG

Source
FOG is a free alternative to products like Symantec’s Ghost, which, while being a very good product, can be too expensive for small imaging operations. Beyond just imaging, FOG also includes a client-side program, which can communicate with the FOG server and manage various things. For instance, you can remotely install new applications, network printers, scan for viruses, and track user access.
The FOG project began in August 2007, and is maintained by Chuck Syperski and Jian Zhang. As of writing this article, they’re currently working on version 0.27, and have made some significant improvements since I began using their product.
FOG is designed for Linux; it’s designed and tested on Fedora, but it also supports Ubuntu. So any machine you can install Linux on, you can probably use as a FOG server.

Clonezilla and RAID

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid

I have a hard drive that was a part in a RAID matrix. I want to clone a partition from this drive, but the drive doesn't get mounted by ntfs-3g: 

mount failed: Device or resource busy 

After having done some digging, I understood that the hard drives still has some RAID metadata. I think that because of this, the system tries to do something with it (while booting the live cd), and it doesn't release it. 

I see to possible directions: 

1) to delete the RAID metadata - I tried to do this but didn't succeed 

2) to modify the live cd boot process and to disable the part that "interprets" and "gets confused" by the RAID metadata that is found 

If I use a System Rescue CD, I don't have this problem (i.e. I can successfully mount the ntfs partitions using ntfs-3g). 

I forgot to mention that I don't want to lose the data from that harddrive.

--------------------------------

The correct boot parameter is
"nodmraid" (without quotes).
I have a software RAID 1 matrix (for mirroring), and I used Clonezilla successfully to create images. I will post the instructions. I see that there is a lot of people interested in using Clonezilla for RAID config, so maybe this is helpful. If you think so, you could put a link from the faq/wiki/etc. I have a RAID 1 setup (configured for mirroring, i.e. each HDDs is the exact copy of the other one). My RAID controller is a cheap, software one. However, I can still use Clonezilla to create restore images using the following steps: * when the live cd boots, press TAB, which will allow you to add additional boot params; add "nodmraid" (without quotes) * you will be able to see your HDDs (e.g. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) * chose a partition (or disk) that you want to "clone" * the destination should by: a third HDD, an USB device (stick or HDD), or SAMBA (Microsoft Networking) * proceed When restoring, you have to perform similar steps, but you need to restore the saved image to both HDD (or partitions). For example, I saved /dev/sda1. When restoring, I restore it first to /dev/sda1 and second to /dev/sdb1. Restart your system and that's it.

So this method works for RAID 1. I have put a link here

Clonezilla and Parted Magic

http://drbl.sourceforge.net/faq/
Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!
Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live:

• X86 or x86-64 processor
• 196 MB of system memory (RAM)
• Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive

Limitations:

• The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
• Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
• Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
• Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. It's can be done manually only.
• Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted. You can _NOT_ recovery single file from the image. However, you still have workaround to make it, read this.
• Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet. Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file.

An extensive collection of file system tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.
Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 312MB of RAM to operate or 175MB in “Live” mode.

7/3/2011: Parted Magic 6.3 This release fixes a few obscure typos and bugs in some of our scripts. Pburn and Pfilesearch have been added for testing. There are no menu entires yet, so run “pburn” from the command line. If there are any Puppy fans out there that can help us getting these to work as well as they do on Puppy, that would be awesome. If they work okay, then we can add them to the menu in 6.4.
The main reason for this release was to add more kernel CPU options.
Parted Magic now comes in i486, i686, and x86_64. The only testing I've done with x86_64 was on my i7 machine. I've successfully chrooted into Slackware64 1337 and ran some command line programs. The i686 CPU is set to PIII, so if you are running a PII, use the i486 version instead

Acronis True Image / Partition Manager - BE WARNED

---

For imaging and disk / partition management software in general, the customer is generally at the vendor's mercy with respect to the Linux-based rescue disks that they provide, as they decide which Linux variant and version to supply and which drivers are included for disks, network, etc. Such rescue disks cannot generally be customized by the user.
Inclusion of a WinPE disk by the vendor has some advantages, including (usually) a set of drivers compatible with more PC configs than the Linux-based boot disk and the ability for the user to add drivers not provided by the base WinPE disk. I don't know how far back Acronis has been providing WinPE disks for its programs, but I understand the latest True Image and Disk Director Home products do, and I assume based on the first post that True Image 2010 also does.

I have not used / fooled around with WinPE 2 or 3, but I assume there are methods to build the disks with add'l storage drivers (preferred) or at least to add them dynamically at boot time. I have done such for the BartPE disk I have built to use programs of this nature (and I still use Acronis Disk Director 10 with a BartPE plug-in), as the relatively new PC I have requires pre-installation storage drivers compatible with my mboard's storage controller, based on my chosen BIOS settings.
As alluded to above, BIOS settings associated with the hard drives installed can affect the recognition of the hard drives when booting into these rescue disk environments. SATA settings such as Raid and AHCI can require additional drivers. For bootable rescue disks, changing AHCI mode to "IDE Compatibility Mode" or equivalent could get the bootable resue disk to recognize the drives. This is a simple / straightforward test both for WinPE and Linux-based rescue disks for trouble isolation purposes (though do change it back to previous value(s) when booting into installed Windows). Thus, it is a good idea to check the SATA interface settings in the BIOS to see if AHCI is enabled.

1.  I really do not understand your problem with the drive letter C:\
I have used many different BOOT-CD's for many purposes, including sundry Partition managers and also Acronis 10 and Acronis 11.
None of these have EVER shown me any drive letters, they do not know such things.
Drive letters are something special to Windows,
and can be reassigned within Windows.
So if Windows is not running, i.e. Boot-CD is in total charge, drive letters can only be guessed at.
I learned a long time ago to change the label of every partition to show me the drive letter I wanted it to be, and also its purpose.

2.   There is a special GOTCHA with Acronis Secure Zone.
It is a hidden partition which is possible to boot into when otherwise the BIOS would decide there is no CD to use and it is time to run Windows.
Acronis patches the MBR to permit this bypass of a full Windows start-up.
If that Acronis Secure Zone is damaged or destroyed, or discarded by restoring to factory defaults, then if you restore an Acronis image that includes the MBR as it was, when you complete restoration and reboot the first thing to happen after BIOS is the MBR wants to see the Acronis Secure Zone.
It happened to me and I had to use another Boot-CD to fix my MBR before I could run Windows again.

I was using a Partition Manager under Windows to shift a data partition (i.e. no system files were at risk).
Something happened and all seven partitions vanished.
Even the Partition manager could not see them until I launched its Recovery Wizard.
That saw about 24 different partition boundaries due to many changes to the size of this partition and the replacement of that etc.  So many possibilities for overlapping partitions.
PANIC
It was a great help to see my labels with the drive letter clues.
I think I need to add a further clue of the date whenever I change its boundaries.
I retrieved the six I needed.
The other partition was the Acronis Secure Zone which I have never needed,
and the Partition Manager had always said it was an unknown format at the best of times because of how Acronis had hidden and protected it.
I decided that I had no need for the Acronis Secure Zone,
and I certainly was not going to risk losing again the six which had caused me such panic,
so I got out of there as fast as possible.
I had the 6 partitions, but no Windows, no  Internet, and no Google to tell me how to fix things.
More panic until I worked out for myself that the MBR needed fixing.
I remembered there was something called fixmbr, but had no idea how to use it.
Google just is not around when you need it most ! !
All I had were my BOOT-CD's.
Relief, Partition manager CD had a rebuild MBR option.
Windows at last ! !
I now ensure the Internet is disconnected and all Comodo Security is disabled before using a partition manager under Windows to do anything more advanced than changing a drive letter,
and feel safest from any external disturbance if I use the Partition Manager BOOT-CD.

Fixed the issue of requiring interaction when the network becomes unavailable during VM backup from host in the silent mode 
Known issues
This section describes issues that are currently known and provides workarounds or advice on how to avoid the issues.

When updating to the new build using Group Policy, you need to create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) instead of using the "redeploy" option for the GPO created for installations of previous versions. 
When upgrading a build of Acronis True Image Echo Backup Server earlier than 8163 to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node, it is recommended that the Acronis Backup Server service is stopped during the upgrade; otherwise the locations may not be imported correctly. 
Acronis Virtual Appliance does not restore the enhanced vmxnet adapter to a new virtual machine 
The "Task failure handling" option does not work for the "Tower of Hanoi" backup scheme 
Validation of an archive located on a tape drive fails after reboot 
Acronis Virtual Appliance cannot access a VM's hard disk if vCenter uses "&" or "<" in the password and the appliance is connected to vCenter 
Backup of a Windows junction point infinitely prompts for credentials 
Information for Virtual Edition users
Updating from build 11345
To update from build 11345 to build 12497, you have to remove virtual appliances and deploy new ones, particularly because of the addition of cluster support. (See below the outline of the update procedure.) After that, you will be able to perform updates from the management server in the same way as deployment.
To update Agent for ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance:
Update the management server. 
Remove the virtual appliance from the management server. 
Delete the virtual appliance from its host. 
Revoke the license used by the agent. 
Deploy the agent anew from the management server (one agent per cluster). 
Reapply backup policies if required. 
More details of the update procedure can be found in the product help system and the Virtual Edition Installation Guide (search for "Updating ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance", see "Manual update" in this section).
An alternative method of backing up a cluster
Backup of all virtual machines of a cluster with a single Agent for ESX/ESXi may take a significant amount of time. If length of the backup window is important, try the following workaround.
Deploy Agent for ESX/ESXi to each clustered host instead of deploying a single agent to the cluster. You can do so from the management server. Just right-click the Virtual machines item instead of the vCenter group. 
If VMware DRS is enabled in the cluster, disable automatic migration of Agent for ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliances. You also should not migrate them manually to different hosts, in order to avoid the situation when an agent manages a host other than its own. Backup and recovery performance would considerably degrade in that case. 
Create a dynamic group of virtual machines hosted on the clustered hosts. Use the Host/VA criterion for the group. 
Create a backup policy and apply the policy to the dynamic group. Once a virtual machine migrates to a different host, the management server will deploy a backup task for this machine to the agent that manages that host. 
Supported operating systems (Workstation)
