Crusty--
Unless you're parsing the meaning of "corrupt MFT" differently than I am
and the MSFT sites and others I put up on it, I trhink the "what" is it has
to do with fixing the poster's problem. I eagerly await your definition of
"corrupt MFT" and your solutions for dealing with the problem that
distinguish from mine. So far I don't see them--in your post that lacked
substance.
Best,
Chad Harris
