Partmgr.sys Download
Sumiko Fagnoni
I have had 3 BSoD on Windows 10, fully updated, in past week. I dont know if I have had any before this. I changed from SSD to M2 a couple of months ago - only correlation I can think of. I used Nirsoft BlueScreenView to view the dump files, and they all say partmgr.sys is the cause. Now what? A copy of the latest info below:
Supposedly copying disk.sys and partmgr.sys from 2003 will work. Remember to disable sfp. Personally I'd be worried about 2003 BSOD and using a p1 as a file server hopefully it's not for anything important.
I have copied the disk.sys and partmgr.sys files from Windows 2003 to Windows XP.
But nothing new happens.
The disk appears in the disk manager as a protective GPT partition
I leave the attachments.
Caution, Spanish version, I don't know if they are the same as English version
Edit: They are the same in English as in Spanish

Finally it has worked so much v. 5.2.3790.3959 (w2003 SP2) as v. 5.2.3790.1830 (w2003 SP1) Both files have = number of bytes, only version number changes.
The files to download that I have put in the previous comment are valid for all languages (at least they work with XP English & XP Spanish).
You copy original files to another folder before replacing them
The issues that may appear before they work are:
-By pasting disk.sys & partmgr.sys in
\ WINDOWS \ system32 \ dllcache
\ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers
the original versions of Windows XP are fully or partially restored.
To solve them, you have to paste both files very very quickly in both folders and then update the view of the folder, checking that version 5.2 has been fixed
-The ideal is to paste the files on the hard drive from another operating system.
-Check that there are no older versions in other directories such as \ Windows \ LastGoods
-The first time Windows XP starts with the new files it takes several minutes. Be patient and wait.
How can I make a KB updater to update these files with an installer for Windows XP? No need to paste files...
I have a service pack 4 for Windows XP in Spanish and I would like to include them.
So I copied disk.sys and partmgr.sys 5.2.3790.3959 to an XP 32 machine, the original MS disk.sys and partmgr.sys was 5.1.2600.5512. Instead of Disk Management MMC saying "MBR GPT protected", I now see all 16TB of this Seagate HD. The 16 TB drive was formatted to empty from a Win10 box with NTFS on eSATA. SMART says zero reallocated sectors. But, out of curiosity I ran XP 32 "chkdsk E: /r" on the 16 TB NTFS partition. I really want to be sure all 16 TB is addressable, and not magically loose data left and right months later. I am using a ICH9R southbridge Core 2 mobo.
If Windows is unable to run application due to partmgr.sys error or partmgr.sys not found, partmgr.sys may be missing or you may have a registry error. We strongly recommend that you download the latest official drivers, fix driver problems and keep them updated.
3. Close the command window and restart the computer.The partmgr service is using the partmgr.sys file that is located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers directory. If the file is removed or corrupted, read this article to restore its original version from Windows 10 installation media.
Today we are looking into patch diffing a recently reported Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability reported within the Windows Partition Management Driver (partmgr.sys). Maybe this information can be helpful for others who are going through all the Patch Tuesday reports and if you are already experience with GPT disks you will have a much easier time than me as I am still trying to figure it all out.
So, when patch diffing the first task that we want to complete is that of identifying the associated files related to the CVE that we are reviewing. Luckily in our case, given the information MSFT provides along with the CVE we are able to easily determine that the kernel driver responsible for Partition Management is partmgr.sys.
You will then utilize the BinExport extension, and utilize BinDiff to analyze both the Non-Patched and Patched Binaries. If we look into some of the data gathered from BinDiff we will be able to identify that only a single function appears to have been modified within the partmgr.sys kernel driver, as seen in this image.
The "normal running system" uses per your report six drivers of which the only "common" ones (with other storage devices) that are surely already in the PE are disk.sys and partmgr.sys (i.e. the "generic" ones), the other four all need to be present, the question was (is) whether they all need to be integrated or part of them need to be integrated and the rest can be normally installed via .inf or via drvload..exe or similar.
I followed the procedure in that link to install the new SAS controller (which is default for 2k8 in vSphere). I'm not sure if the local Admin user, while in DSRM mode, is supposed to have full admin rights to the machine, but it doesn't for me. I had to basically copy a few files from C:\windows\system32\drivers (disk.sys, lsi_scsi.sys, lsi_sas.sys, e1g6032e.sys, and partmgr.sys) to the C:\Windows\INF folder. I also had to add the administrators group to give full rights to the infcache.1, infpub.dat, infstor.dat, and infstrng.dat files. It keeps modifying the permissions (only SYSTEM - Full and Users - Read have security entries on those files). The best thing to do is copy those files and don't force an install but reboot and let the system try to detect. VERY important, was, before rebooting, uninstall the "VMware Virtual disk SCSI Disk Device" in Device Manager if it showed up under "Other Devices" as those were the drivers causing the secondary BSOD (windows has halted to protect from damage). I am still not sure if copying those sys files in there and modifying the permissions were a good procedure so do it at your own risk if you decide to. But, it was the only way I was able to get my VM up and running again so I was willing to try anything.
