This has happended to me recently on a drive that I haven't just formatted. One day I booted it up and got that message. The power unit has since 'blown up' and I've just replaced it. I installed another version of Windows on a different hard drive and booted up using that. The problem I now have is I want to copy the my documents folder from the old drive to the new drive but because my username had a password on it, it will not let me copy it. Any ideas? (on the both the config sys question and the file copying) Thanks Mule
