Safe next steps

  1. For 0x00000082 (DFS_FILE_SYSTEM), protect important files first. Record whether the boot drive is detected and whether the same code follows an I/O error.
  2. Use the Microsoft bug-check parameters and the exact drive or PC maker’s diagnostics before attempting disk repair.
  3. Stop write-heavy repairs if the drive disappears or repeated read errors occur.

After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
