My XP Pro wouln't boot.
Typical "can't find the kernel"...
So, I popped in the install disk and chose the console.
I ran chkdsk -twice - it did reboot to my profile.
However...(in addition to Admin I have two "users")
In Documents and Settings I have "duplicate folders (Three for adming
and to two for another user) My primary profile (the one folder and
files which appeared to be corrupted and were "repaired by chkdsk did
not "duplicate?!).
So - - What folders can I safely delete (I'm most concerned with the
duplicate admin, two have a .XPcorp (computername) and .XPcorp.00 as
does a "user" profile. All Users. Default User. Local Service adn
NetworkService were not "duplicated" (nor was my defaull logon, the one
which chkdsk spend half an hour "fixing".
My guess is I can "delete" the "dupes" with the older dates? However, it
seems odd that the newer folder have the extra extensions?
I'm not too concerned about space - - they're small? I just wonder if
they might be causing any problems (I believe they were created during
an earlier failure when I did a restore of the systems state.
Finally, is there a way to do a system restore if I can't boot to the
OS? I dual boot to W2k - -I doubt that would help...can I do a system
restore via the console or the install disk - -
I was lucky i went for the console as I suspect a repair from install
may have wiped some things out - -I doubted chkdsk would work and it was
slow - -but it brought me back.
Now I'd like to deal with the duplicte folders in D & C (from the
earlier restore of system state)...also, any way to do a System Restore
if I can't boot to the OS?
