problem: client pc starts-up to desktop (almost) and displays 'services.exe unable to start, some dll missing, blah, blah, reinstall, etc' inciting real panic and confusion... restarting the machine boots to blue screen (for a second) then restarts (as is the default setting). talk of a brand new pc ensues as i stroll into the office...
what im not doing: agreeing with a new purchase and blagging the pc, i mean i have a soul (and i think its still under warranty, so i would be filling in forms and making calls... no) also, stating the obvious, this isnt a trick or anything new, im just tracking problems and fixes.
boot of xppro cd, enter recovery console and enter the mighty;
chkdsk c: /r
and restart. job done.
thoughts - my linux distro of choice runs a similar tool every 30 mounts, winxppro would benefit from such pragmatic steps.
