Oh, just that xp can fail in such a way that the file directory for "system" files gets corrupted, so c:\program files, c:\system, c:\windows, and c:\D&S, etc. become unreadable. It used to be called the file allocation table. However, things the user makes, such as c:\aa may survive. To recover you boot from a cd or a floppy, and c:\aa is readable. This happened to me, which is why I don't store anything in c:\D&S. You obviously know more about computers. Will registry corruption result in the above? I think that was it. Jonathan
