Hi everyone.
Problem with O/S CD:
I’ll try to make this as brief as pos. Recently, I swapped the innards of my old
box into a new one as old one was getting ‘rusty’. All went well for a few days,
then ‘bang!’ comp suddenly shuts down whilst reading CD….eventually…replaced the
power and CD reader units from old PC and all was OK again. Decided to do clean stall,
just in case…I get…’disk I/O error: status 00008000’ tried again and got ‘ntfs.sys
corrupt, press any key to reboot’. Did recovery from backup of entire disk. that
worked. Installed ‘test my hard ware’ and got the following:-

The 0’s in drive C from ‘Sectors Per Cluster’ seems not right. Comp works fine except
cannot reinstall W2K. Worried problems are looming. How can I fix this?
Thanks for any help.
