My XP crashed and I needed to reinstall, I have done and now have a major problem.

I cant delete anything at all, any files, it says files not found all the time???

Any ideas??

Thanks
 
Ok, so you've re-installed XP?
but you can't delete files, because it displays file not found?

Hmm Could be a Dynamic partition, Boot Record, Security Keys, etc. problem.

First, Go into recovery console and at the C: prompt
put CHKDSK /P that will test the drive fully.

Second, if that doesn't fix it boot again into recovery console (WinXP CD) type FIXMBR /? (/? is to find the switch commands you want) then run the FIXMBR with the switches and fix your Master Boot Record.

Finaly, if that didn't work. It's time for a full re-install with removal of partitions. So, in the XP setup treat it like a new install and delete the partitons then make them again.
 
you could reinstall to another partition to allow you to backup, could be a virus with all the file not found..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
