I have researched this problem and found that the VIA 4n1 drivers have been reported
as being a potential source of your problems. It seems that durring shut down information
is not being written properly to disk. After time this corrupts the registry and
you receive errors like this. Symptoms leading up to this is LONG shutdown times,
errors durring shut down, and event log entries refering to unwritable disks. Use
the above checkdisk method to boot and remove the 4n1 drivers, use the standard MS
XP drivers... this helped me.
