Gary: I was able to delete the file in Safe Mode but it returned with the
same effects after regular re-boot. Looks like it's a file put there by the
system. Thanks for your advice. Any other suggestions?

The System Volume folder is what contains your restore points..
You can either run Disk Cleanup,then click on the "More Options" tab & remove all,but
the most recent, restore point or disable System Restore,altogether, which will
remove all restore points.
Otherwise-have you tried to remove the entry while in Safe Mode?

Gary: Thanks for the info. Perhaps I'll give Acronis a try. But, there's
another problem I've encountered, namely, the file "tracking.log" in System
Volume Information folder. It won't allow a Spyware or virus scan. Hangs them
up so they can't even be canceled. Even just clicking on it, either to open
it or check its properties, completely hangs up the computer requiring a
manual shutdown and restart. I tried deleting it from C:>. Was able to change
the attributes OK, but it wouldn't delete. So I wonder what will happen when
Acronis reaches that point in the cloning. I guess I can try and see. In the
meantime, do you or anyone else who reads this know a way to get that file
deleted?

Marty-
I just recently used the Data Lifeguard Tools on my parents PC to transfer their
HDD
to a bigger 1 & some of the things didn't make the transfer too well(even though
it
claimed that everything did,except the restore points & the hibernation files).
After having to reinstall certain programs & editing the boot files,I finally got
it
to what I thought was a good running condition & left it with them.
Well,since I didn't know what other problems might surface while I wasn't there,&
not
wanting to take any chances,the next day I downloaded the trial version of Acronis
11
their machine & used the disk cloning operation & when it rebooted, this
time,there
were no problems with anything .
I had Acronis Home 10 on my machine & I can vouch that it's a great backup
program(&
highly recommended here),but never used it for anything else till then. I ended up
buying Acronis 11 for my own machine & installing my copy of Acronis 10 on theirs.
Give it a try-I think that you'll have better success with Acronis True Image over
the Data Lifeguard Tools.

Yes, I tried Safe Mode. Same results.
Need to say this is an HDD that I cloned using WD's "Data Lifeguard Tools",
which reported no problem in the process.

If not, try tapping the F8 key when the boot sequence begins.

OS=XP-Sp2. Boot proceeds no farther than the screen where "Windows is
starting up" usually appears. That screen appears, but that statement
doesn't. The HDD appears to be trying to do something, but nothing
happens.
Suggestions and\or directions will be appreciated.
