-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Restore Point

When I couldn't restore I ran a defrag, which the computer said I didn't 
need and which is why I've never defragged in just about a year!  It 
took hours on end, but finally completed.  I wanted to run CHKDSK first, 
but couldn't find it (WME 2005, XP SP2).  Is a full surface scan the 
same scan that AVG runs every night?  How would I know if anything is 
corrupted?  And how do I run CHKDSK?  I'm asking all these questions 
because my computer has been acting weird lately, running VERY slow and 
hanging a lot between folders in OE.  So between trying to set a restore 
point, trying to find the store folder and figure out what to do there, 
and trying to compact my folders (and not being able to do any of this 
stuff), I'm about to throw this whole machine out the window!  ~Glo

Glo,
    All I can say about that is perhaps a file or more in each of those
restore points had become corrupted.  Something like that wouldn't be
discovered until you try to restore to that point.  If I'm correct, that
means it's probably been a while since you last ran CHKDSK on your hard
drive.  I suggest running a full surface scan overnight to make sure
corruption doesn't affect anything more than just those restore points.

Peace,
GMan
