After partially installing SP2 ( I say partial because the install seemed to
be interrupted, but elements of SP2 showed up), I kept getting a message
saying that c:\$Mft was corrupt. Also, my page file kept being set to 0, even
when I clicked on the advanced tab in System to adjust it. I removed SP2, but
I keep getting the corrupt file message. System Restore and GoBack did not
work. I also remember seeing an 800704B8 error message. Anybody know how I
can fix this?
