what you can do is to boot in
safe mode and see if your system
restore shows up as well as your
system tools.
to start safe mode, reboot and
hold down the f8 key and test
and review

there are a couple of way to
run chkdsk.
I think the best way is to run
it when windows is not loaded.
to do the above boot up with
any windows xp cd.
then select "repair" from the
first screen setup provides.
the repair will launch the
recovery console which will
enable you to log into the
disk system.
then at the disk prompt
run the command>:
chkdsk /p
then "exit", remove cd and
boot into windows normally.
---------------------
if the files you cannot find were
not indexed "but" still on the disk,
then they should know be seen
because you updated the master
file table with the chkdsk (check
disk).
if however, the files are still not
found, then either
they are lost in the myriad of
folders on your disk
"or"
they have been zapped by your anti
virus
"or"
they have been inadvertently deleted.
--------------------
keep us apprised of your status.

it is due to it/them not being indexed

chkdsk will re-index the files "if" it/them
are not corrupted.

Hi,
I was just browsing and I noticed a couple of things missing on my
start
list. I started checking and quite a few of my items in my all
programs
page
were empty. I also noticed that my list of windows programs at the
beginning
of my all program page was missing. I couldn't find my accessories
list
either. I tried my System Restore and that didn't work. It said
there
was
no change to my computer.
I am using WindowsXP SP3.
I have Avira Antivir antivirus and Zone Alarm so I am pretty sure
I
don't
have a virus.
I sure could use some help with this.
Thank you.

me
a
hint or two what chkdsk is? I think I know but I would rather be sure.
Your
ideas are great as they make me think a lot.
Hi db,
I did as you suggested and the end result is: There are one or more errors
in the volume. At first I thought I was going to have to tell you it
wouldn't work but then I noticed there was a space between the k and the
/p.
Makes a whole lot of difference. Anyways a lot of the files still show
empty
on my programs menu.
Was there something else I was suppose to do with the chkdsk/p?
Is this same the reason I can't find my system tools?
Is it related that I can't do a system restore?
If I am asking to much of you let me know because I can get carried away
when I find someone that is very knowlegdeable to pick there brain.
Hi db,
nothing. I found where I saw the two users, one being the Administrator and
the other being Ron Kolby, the Computer Administrator, it was in the 'safe
mode'. Very interesting.
As I was messing around in the 'safe mode' I ended up in the program files
and guess what I found. All the files that are showing empty in my all
program menu.
Now, how do I get them back where they belong besides the program files? It
would be nice to know how they got there and removed from the menu. I don't
think it will help with my system restore because that has been out for quite
awhile and I don't think it will fhelp with my printer not connecting but hey
I will take what I can.
As Always,
Hi again,I was looking at some of the other posts and came across one with a
problem with his accessories and utilities so I tried it and I have my
accessories and utilities back. Is this great or what. My God works in
mysterious ways. Now all I need is someone with a printer problem.
As Always,
.
