Hi,
I am running Windows XP Pro SP1. Yesterday I did a Disk
Clean-up and Disk Defrag for the first time on this PC
(had the computer 1 year). I allowed the defrag to run
all night. This morning there was a message stating that
the "defragmenter canceled because error occured". I
closed out the defrag and attempted to reboot. I had
major problems rebooting. I had a black screen telling me
that Windows had encountered a problem and to try again.
After several attempts, I received a message telling me
that SHSTAT.exe unable to locate component (Msi.dll).
Finally, after about 5 reboots my computer is up and
seems to be running fine. I checked my error log and
found a message reporting a "bad block". This may not be
enough information for someone to respond to, but why the
problem? What should I have done differently?
Thanks for your assistance,
lj

Looks like a problem with McAfee.
