Linney, Thanks for the help, I now have some more knowledge to store in cocoanut. It was the system file check that did the trick. Blessings, PC Eph 2:10

linney, In the Control Panel the Scheduled Tasks icon is goofed up and the assigned tasks will not expand. (I have the control Panel set up as a menu.) When the pointer is moved over the icon instead of the list expanding I get a system beep. When I click on the icon in System Tools nothing...

This week I noticed that several tasks had not run in a long time and when I went to open my scheduled tasks the icon was missing and replced with the ubiquitous "lost icon". When I right clicked on the icon and asked for properties then location it pointed to explorer.exe. I was expecting...

Nope, the AD backup was corrupt too. I have learned a lesson here and that is to store the AD backups physically away from the computer. I do have an Excel file of the users and passwords so I guess it is a long weekend for me! Eph 2:10

Seaspray0: I have access to a more recent backup of the NTDS folder on the system drive, via another computer. Is there a way to import the AD info from there? (I'm assuming from another post in another forum here that this is where Win2000 keeps the database.) I'm just trying to keep from...

diglienna: Yea, I had the drive on RAID but it seems that whatever caused the sever file corruption was just copied to the mirrored drive. The deeper I get into this them more it sounds like malacious behavior. But I scanned the drives daily so I'm not sure how it could be a virus, worm...

UGH! I can't seem to do a parallel installation because of errors reading the disc. Yet, CHKDSK /P reports no errors. When the installtion runs I get a stop error Stop: 0xc0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SYSTEM or its log...

Thanks! Your right about Help and believe it or not the "Getting Started" book actually mentions to look there as well. Surprising to me considering what kind of documentation that comes with most OSs these days. Unfortunately, even afer using chkdsk /r there are still corrupt files. I fear...

I just had to reinstall Win2000 Server in a parallel directory and it seems that my AD backup is corrupt. (that is an entirely different story) Is there a way to "import" my AD from the parallel directory into the new directory install? I set up the new install the same as the previous corrupt...

Okay, first; sorry for taking so long to get back to this but was side-railed by another pressing matter. The issue is resolved and was done so by taking ownership of the folder. Once this was done all I had to do was delete the files and defrag and now I have a nice clean and contiguous file...

Yep, done all that too. I've reset my permissions to that folder so that only the Administrator has full rights. Even then I cannot "see" anything in that folder. This is really strange but I think I know what caused this situation. I had a registry crash and when I tried to restore the...

Did that but I continue to get the same response. The wierd thing here is that when I unhide system files and right click on the folder it says there is nothing there! Can I change the Security Rights to this folder, delete it and then create another? PC Eph 2:10

According to the Defrag program I have about 4 GB of fragmented files in the System Volume Information Folder (where System Restor files are placed I guess) that cannot be defragged. How can I (or even can I) delete those files so I can have a nicely defragged volume? Eph 2:10

Okay, here is a good one for you tech guys. I have a Servgate M30 device that severely misbehaves when it is not shutdown properly. I live in a Two-Thirds World country where the power goes off constantly. So when the power goes off and the UPS shuts down the M30 device is abruptly turned off...

I've followed standard instructions for setting up FTP service on our server and yet when I test the connection I get the following message. Why do I get this on the server? C:\Documents and Settings\PWC\My Documents>ftp localhost Connected to gcu-server.gcu. Connection closed by remote...
