Any advice would be appreciated
basically the computer is running xp pro
during boot up I get the message
winnt\system32\csc\csc1.temp is corrupt - if you hit ok
the system proceeds ahead and completes loading. The OS
proceeds to work correctly
I have found that the csc file has 2 system files in it
000001 and 000002
I ran the check disk utility to scan the hard drive - it
hangs at a little of 60% done and aborts with the message
that the csc1.temp file is corrupt.
I'm afraid that if I delete the corrupt file - I'll hose
the machine and would be forced to reload.
 
The CSC folder, and the files within, are not part of a normal install of
Windows XP. Temp files can, most always, be deleted with consequence. Take
it from there!
 
Meant "without consequence". Sorry (-:

CSC is the Client Side Cache folder for Offline Files. More info about this
folder and the files it contains:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtec
hnol/winxppro/reskit/prde_ffs_ludh.asp

Although there are warnings not to remove files and folders directly, there
is no mention of the *.tmp file. I would think that due to it's very
nature, the *.tmp file should be safe to remove. I wouldn't try any
removing any others though. May want to create a system restore point
before deleting as a safety net.
