HELP!!! haha

running a windows server 2000 sp4 file server

when the server was set up origionally (before my time in the department) the default C: was left at 12 GB...

a year ago the C: drive filled up and became full, so i created a new logial drive, gave it a drive letter, then went into safe mode, moved all the contents of the program files into the new drive, renamed the programs folder to program files2, then created a new program files folder and mounted it to the logical drive.

rebooted the system, deleted the program files2 folder, fixed a few installs, and everything was off to the races. this also freeded up 5-6GB of space on the C:

well just a few days ago, the server lost power during a storm, when it came back up it no longer shows as a mounted drive/folder

everything still runs but, the C: drive now registers full again, when i go to the C:/program files folder and add a file, i can then go to the logical drive and see the file there and delete it and vise versa...

the logical drive properties no longer show the folder mounted to it, but they still act as if they are...

any idea what could of happened?


any idea what to fix in the registry so the drive mounting points and space read correctly again?

but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
