Hi
I decided to create a backup of my system for the first time as follows:
Xp was already installed on my pc so i didnt have a cd to retrieve the
'backup' facility, so I tried to create the 'dell OS Recovery CD' by going to
Programs>dell accessories>dell os recovery cd, this took ages and ended in an
error saying something about not enough space. Fair enough I have now read
more about backing up & am getting an external drive instead.
But since then everytime I boot up my laptop I get a blue windows page saying:
"Checking file system on C:
the type of the file system is NFTS
Can't open volume for direct access
windows has finished checking the disk"
it clears after say a minute and completes start up as normal.
I have since downloaded the xp backup program from
http://home.comcaast.net/~cerelli/ntbackup.msi which caused no probs.
Before all this I downloaded registry booster, which i have now stopped it
scanning but think I will uninstall it until after i have created a backup.
I hope you are able to follow this, I am running XP home edition on an
Inspiron 1300 laptop and the only real changes i have made recently are those
above
can anyone help?
thanks for reading
Rhi
