Question : Event id 55 NTFS error - blue screen

Hi experts.

Arrived into work this morning to quite a major issue.

My main file server last night logged Event 55 - The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume. It refers to my data partition.

It has crashed twice since 2 AM last night

Its a pretty new machine with one mirrored array for OS and four other disks in a RAID 5.

I have about 80 users on this box but I have logged them all out to take a full backup which is currently running as last nights failed with the crash.

Most recent patches are from last week and about 10 days ago i installed Symantec Endpoint.

What should I do next? I ran chkdsk in read only mode and it didnt report any errors and the allocation unit size is 4096.

I have seen some posts saying the drive needs to be reformatted because it could be a corrupt MFT but surely there are better ways?

Thanks in advance

I contacted HP this morning and they told me to upgrade the P400 controller firmware, run the firmware maintenance CD and the Proliant Support pack. They think it will fix BSOD on boot.

Anyone out there had similar issues and have the upgrades worked?
