Ready to kill! Second time these problems have arisen.
1st time I fdisked and totally reinstalled. Now
happening again:
1 xp disk defragmenter gets to 30% then freezes
2 chk disk says cant complete
3 system restore says cant restore.
yet nothing appears to be not working.
I uninstalled norton systemworks cos was told this could
be a conflict.
have been to all the recommended links etc and nothing is
relevant
 
Turn off restore in system properties,install xp cd,
reboot computer,boot to cd,recovery,if asked for pass-
word press the enter key,at the curser type:CHKDSK C: /R
when its thru type:EXIT
On desktop,go to run,type:cmd At the curser type:
Sfc /Scannow
Install xp cd when the graph starts,when thru,type:EXIT
Reboot computer,on desktop,turn on restore in prop.,then
open in tools,create a restore point.(sorry,run Sfc 1st)
then recovery 2nd.Turn recovery off before all.
 
Leelo,

Andrew is right. Disk errors cause a wide variety of problems. I
recommend you also run chkdsk/r on all your drives periodically as
part of your normal maintenance. I run it at least once a month.
