[timOleary]

got a blue screen when I tried to boot my PC.
found KB 307545 and ran CHKDSK /r using Recovery Console which found
an error, but blue screen persisted.
So then performed part 1 using Recovery Console; copying deleting etc
the indicated files. That went OK no surprises But
Am stuck on part 2.
Cannot access System Volume Information folder. but mouse over says
folder is empty.
So did not do any of the steps yet.

Windows runs now but only limited extent.
please help

Use the Cacls command:

cacls "C:\System Volume Information" /E /G "your user name":F
