by by booting into safe mode, changing the Windows logon password, and
then running Windows XP's error checking/scandisk (which fixed the

Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is DRIVE_C.

A disk check has been scheduled.
Windows will now check the disk.

Cleaning up 309 unused security descriptors.
