Re: can't restore

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Grrrrr, this is irritating.

I've done a Windows Repair, and no improvement. I reinstalled all the XP updates, patches, hot fixes, etc, and still the same, no improvement.

I'm still unable to do defraging of ntfs drives, unable to access windows update, unable to do restore, and can't run error-checking. I have no idea what other problems there are.

I guess my next move is to do a complete reinstall.

Yes, I think I've found another. I have 7 different drives and 2 of them are NTFS while the rest are FAT. I also have a couple of defraggers like UltimateDefrag, AusLogics, Defraggler, Diskkeeper Light, and a couple of others. Ultimate, Diskkeeper, and Defraggler crash on the NTFS drives. I've had to use the Command line option for JkDefrag and it tells me that "this is not a FAT or NTFS disk." Yikes!!!! AusLogics is the only one that works.

When I perform a disk check on the two drives, I get an error message of "windows was unable to complete the disk check."

Oh good grief . . . I wonder whats next!?
