Took some time to open up and I thought it best to list everything!

B: RamDrive
C: Local Disk
D: DATA
E: HBCD 15.2
X: Mini XP

The C Drive is empty, but the RAMDrive is 254MB with 251 MB Free Space
Mini XP is 240 MB WITH 237MB Free space

Shane:
C: is empty? What about D:?

Shane

gillg:
D: is 51GB with 9.09 GB free (I remember saving a lot of photos and music to this drive a while ago.

I take it C: being empty is not good?

G

Shane:
C: should have been your Windows drive if D: isnt, so empty is bad.

Open a command prompt and put in

chkdsk c: /r

And hit enter. That should do a bad sector check on C: and it could take a couple of hours depending on the size and if it is bad.

OK - it is doing its check, though I have only just seen your mention of time frame! It is nearly half past midnight here, so if I use the CD tomorrow and do I what I did earlier to get the icons up and run the chkdsk to see what it finds, is it OK to stop the check or will that be a bad thibg to do as it has started?
