Hi, Fortunately this was on my test network, but I would like to fix it
rather than reformat...
My GC controller had a black screen that said "Disk Error. I rebooted and it
rebuilt the Active directory. After ut finished I tried to log in, the
machine rebooted, and I get a Disk error every time I reboot.

The machine is less than a year old, I have my Exchange server is on another
Domain controller, so I have the AD still.

I tried the repair, W/o a repair disk, and it put me into DOS.

1. Should I trash the HD as untrustable?
2. Is there an easy way to repair it, or should I rename it and re-install?

Advice please...

Thanks,
David Bock.
