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!?
