Hi everyone, I just registered in order to find some luck, at this point I have tried everything and nothing worked.

OS: Windows 11 Pro. UEFI System, x64.
Problem: Windows doesn't boot. Error0xc0000098, nfts.sys.

Probably caused by: an external hard disk with own Win OS I use between computers. The problem appeared after connecting the disk in a long time.

Already tried an failed: USB Windows iso repair tool, bootrec commands, fixmbr, dism, replaced ntfs file by the one in the Installer ISO. cleanup-image,analyzecomponenteStore give an error 0x800f0900, rebuildbcd, scanos gives 0 os found; scannow. also following a tutorial tried to resize partitions, it didn't work.

I don't know what else to do.

Current Tools: In my current situation I'm writing from the OS in the external disk and I also have the Win11 installation iso in a pendrive. I can access the harddrive on Windows Explorer with no issue.

Please take into account these files CBS.zip and ComponentScanner.txt were taken from the external disk (where i can execute the tools, cmd, etc), while CBS(2) is the one found in the disk with the problem.

It seems I can't edit the original message. To avoid duplicates, @admins please check if this post should go in BSOD Crashes section.
I also attach the BSOD section suggested log, as said before, this file belongs to current external working disk (I don't know if the program runs all available disks).
