Same as many others.
I ran FRST after booting from the OTLPENET CD.
Log attached.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Shad

From the reatogo desktop select command prompt and type the following command :
chkdsk c: /r
Reboot on completion and try a normal boot

You appear to have two disc drives, could you disconnect the one that does not contain windows and then try a reboot

Chkdsk c: /r found 2 bad sectors and re-mapped them. Did a "normal" boot into windows, and everything seems to be working.
Thanks for your help!

Was this after you disconnected the second drive ?
