Convert your hard drive to ntfs.

select Start/Run and enter "Convert C: /FS:NTFS"

It will do some checks then tell you it can't do it straight away, and ask if you want to do it at the next restart - say yes, then reboot your machine.

Glad I could solve your HARDWARE problem.

What kind of "scanning" is XP doing at startup?

[lynx]

It is actually kazaa that deletes a corrupt download, which is what happens if you don't close kazaa correctly and you are using Fat32 file system.

NTFS has a journalised file system so you don't often get the same sort of corruption.

mine still deletes the file im downloading if I dont close kazaa right, and im using ntfs :blink:

usually I make a backup of something as i download it. so if i get to like 300mb, then I right click the file (usually caled downloadxxxxx) then i paste it into the folder so it makes a file called copy of downloadxxxxx. if my downlaod gets corrupt, i just rename that file and keep downloading.

So, let's see....
This is not a hardware problem...
It's not a XP problem...

Where is that lazy Canadian mod?

if your pc crashed or freezes or etc. your dat files become corrupt and klite will delete corrupt files

Hmmm?&#33;
This rings a bell eh?
same problem as me by the sound of it.
What do you think Muscleman? Virus? I&#39;ve checked with Norton, adaware, and spybot. can&#39;t find anything but the problem persists&#33;
Doing my head in now :ghostface: :helpsmile: :angry:

[MUSLEMAN]

emm not sure what you are asking???

you asking why the pc is crashing??

[greywolf1961]

just wondering if it&#39;s something to do with kazaa or do you think it&#39;s our PC&#39;s?
does anyone else have this problem?
You seem to be in the know concerning kazaa, i was wondering if this was an isolated thing our have i miss installed kazaaor something?
Buggered if i know whats up&#33; :smilie4:
Thanks for being good enough to take the timee to answer dumb questions from newbies, by the way&#33; :D

well im having this problwm..but with ares???? wonder whats up

[MUSLEMAN]

well kazaa from what i know can&#39;t even make your xp crash. because the whole think with xp is that if a program crashes xp does not.

if your xp crashes you need to check xp itself most time, drivers, regs etc.

a quick xp repair most times does the trick, unless you got some drivers compatiblity issue
