![]() It did however set a switch to make the computer endlessly repeat Windows file system consistency checking on startup, which kept bombing at the 2% mark of the "free space check" then rebooting again. ![]() This utility made no difference in boot up time. I installed System Mechanic 8.5 on My Windows XP Home Edition system because I was dissatisfied with "slow" boot up times. I wrote an email to Iolo and got an totally bogus automated answer, telling me I probably had hardware problems and that I should contact the Compaq support. So I had to reinstall XP, then I used File Scavenger to save what's left of my files to an eksternal drive, which took a good 20 hours but restored amazingly 98% of the 80Gb I had! SM deleted my system restore points too!Īlso tried Active's boot disk that told me I had a critical system boot error. I tried booting from the original Windows XP cd just to get the message that a system repair was not possible, only a complete install that would delete all files on partition. No Windows, no text, no blue screen, no startup beep. I ran the SM's one-click system cleanup, clicked "yes" to reboot, and then on startup nothing happened but getting a blinking marker in upper left corner on a black screen - and that's it! Could not even get in to safe mode! I had same problems like Arke, and exactly like danho001 says.
