Yep, but the command prompt version didn't work. I eventually got around
to trying the GUI version under safe mode, and that actually did make
chkdsk run on the next boot, and it found absolutely nothing wrong,
so I'm starting to suspect some kind of massive software foul-up
(making re-installing XP even more attractive - maybe I won't need
a new disk drive :-).
It seems as though nothing related to diddling software on the machine
will work. If I try to bring up the system restore window to try going
back to a prior restore point, it hangs. If I try to un-install
recently installed software, the installer hangs, and if I try to run
windows update, windows update hangs. It is like there is some central
point of failure in Windows Installer on this system - anything that
gets close to it hangs.
