Hi Ken,
I'll start the reading assignment and downloads and ask any questions I may have.
I'll post when finished.

Hi Ken,
Can you tell me if this disk will do what we need it to?
(I sent this to Paws as well.)
Those files are on the computer we're working on.
I am in the process of copying every file on the infected computer to a 750 gig external drive, and of the the ones I've so far copied (about 50%...
I'm sure I have plenty of that! :slap:
Since I'm on a roll... Kaspersky found these (downloaded to external hard drive from failing laptop:

Don't know if this log file found on OTLPE is germane to your script or not.

OK Ken- Thanks
I really appreciate your taking a look.
For what it's worth, I did find these 2 entries in the OTLPE log suspicious- they are the most recent files shown, and the date/time...
Running chkdsk with the p switch was a good move, but it may be necessary to probe a little deeper.
Try running chkdsk again but this time with the r switch

Ken,
I'm less than satisfied with what I've gotten from WHATTHETECH. I paste below the thread in hopes that you have another idea.

Thanks much Ken- will post back.

Hello,
I have a screen shot (via camera) of the BSOD I get when trying to boot. This happens with all boot choices (F8). I can however open the XP Recovery Console, to the command prompt: ...
Just as smooth as it sounded.
It says 1.79 GHz and 1.12 GB of RAM. That looks right to me.

The board is maxed out with 2G installed- XP Pro will recognize about 3-3.5G apparently.
What a great site for information.
I have two of these machines so likely will split the two modules...
Thank you for the link Ken. I'm afraid my rookie is really showing now... I wasn't even aware that this could be done with a laptop- 1st one I've owned.

Ken,
Little question you are the person to ask:
My back-up Utility is elderly and unsupported (IOmega Backup Pro). Do you have a favorite(s) to recommend, or a site for me to investigate?

Ken,
No problems encountered in various scans- all working well. I'm more than impressed!

Ken- KUDOS!
All is well to this point. I'll run Kaspersky AV (trial) tonight and will respond tomorrow if I have any questions, if that's OK.
I do wonder about:
